US in a friendly against Brazil tonight. While I am the first to always point out how far US Soccer has come in the past 20 years, it's games like these that show us how far we still have to go. Their speed and control slice through our midfield and back line without much resistance. We had our moments with a few chances going forward, but we are pretty lucky to only be down 1-0 at half.

I got rid of cable, so I'm gameless tonight. I should've had an activity for the game at school. Dangit."Yeah, but never trust a Ph.D who has an MBA as well. The PhD symbolizes intelligence and discipline. The MBA symbolizes lust for power." -- Katy Lied

The only difference between the two is they won a couple of friendlies in Europe. USMNT hasn't progressed in real tournaments and last night was further evidence his time has probably come.
Klinsmann is a victim of his own tinkering at times. He likes to try out young players and different combinations and sometimes they bomb like last night. But that strategy also has some great young talent being developed. And it got us out of the group of death last world cup and within one botched Wondolowski finish from bouncing a top 5 team in the round of 16. Bradley would not have had us in that position.

There are a lot of great teams that look silly against Brazil. Yes the effort was lacking last night but you said yourself we have had some nice wins against good competition in friendlies recently. The only big whiff by Klinsmann was getting bounced in the semifinal of the Gold Cup by Jamaica. But if we win against Mexico in the Rose Bowl next month that will be forgiven. If we play against Mexico like we did last night I'll get a little antsy.

Klinsi has enough success to be allowed to experiment. When is he supposed to experiment, only against lousy teams? I'd rather challenge the youth against Brazil, three years before any tournaments than several years later in qualifying. Being bounced by Jamaica was a downer but I still believe Klinsi is worlds better than Bradley. Fusnick is simply trolling."Guitar groups are on their way out, Mr Epstein."
