Trouble is brewing with the United States men’s national team.
Last night’s 4-0 loss to Costa Rica could cost Jurgen Klinsmann his job as U.S. Soccer chief Sunil Gulati contemplates how best to keep afloat what right now appears to be a sinking ship.
There was a distinct feeling, watching the Americans crash to defeat in San Jose, that Klinsmann has lost his team both psychologically and tactically. The USA were not good enough as individuals, coming up second best in their individual battles all over the park, but also appeared confused by their roles and lacking a clear game plan.
