Jurgen Klinsmann says New York Red Bulls' Sacha Kljestan is "making a very strong case" for USMNT starting role

Jurgen Klinsmann took a break from trading jabs with Bob Bradley to hop on Facebook and answer a few questions, as part of the build-up to the USMNT's friendly against New Zealand.

About seven minutes into his 20-odd-minute chat, Klinsmann was asked to evaluate Sacha Kljestan's performances for the US Men's National Team:

Sacha really took his opportunity, 100%. When he came in for the two World Cup qualifiers last month, he was spot on. He made a good impression in every training session and obviously - as you guys saw - in the two games.
