Soccer-Klinsmann remains certain U.S. will qualify for Russia

BERLIN, Nov 20 (Reuters) - United States coach Juergen Klinsmann remains "1,000 percent sure" his side will qualify for the 2018 World Cup despite a 4-0 rout at Costa Rica last week.

He even has the support of President Barack Obama, the coach told a gala dinner in Berlin.

In an interview with Reuters, Klinsmann said he was disappointed "and even angry" that his team had lost their first two World Cup qualifiers in the space of five days, having let in a late goal against the run of play to lose 2-1 at home to Mexico.
