The relationship between USMNT fans and Timmy Chandler is a rocky one. They have seen the fullback perform quite well in the Bundesliga over the past few years, but have been disappointed time and time again with his national team play. Despite how the supporters may feel about him, Jurgen Klinsmann isn't giving up hope that the 26-year-old can play a role for the United States in this summer's Copa America.
After a tumultuous club season with Eintracht Frankfurt that's seen him benched early on in the season and having to deal with multiple nagging injuries, Chandler finally returned to the lineup in mid-March and has seized the opportunity.
