I don't like MLS and I agree the best athletes don't play soccer. Yet, with smaller stadiums and a 2nd rate league soccer's per game attendance is right near baseball's. With a payroll the English Championship division would laugh at. You picked the wrong sport. Baseball had a good Post season but is dying a slow death. Soccer is growing despite the lack of support from big corporate money.

That's where it started but not where it went. My original point was that Klinsman picked less talented foreigners on perception not on talent and reality. Including players with foreign experience despite not being the best American in there position. If it was pick up soccer Tim Chandler would not be the best right back we have. He could play for Barcelona and that would not change.

Tim Howard also thought what the craphead, washed up quarterback from the 49'ers did that cost cops lives was 'great'.
Tim Howard is an ignorant, washed up, bitter athlete. Sad way to go out.

"I'm an old man and I've seen a lot of things, and what it seemed like to me was there was a lack of passion and desire by certain players to run through a wall," he said. "The national team is my heart and soul. If you take that away from me, you take a piece of my heart.
"I'd do anything to be on the field. I'll play injured, I'll take an injection, I'll do anything. Anything. It's not just me; there are a bunch of players who would do that. But in order to be a great team, in order to be one of the best U.S. teams -- which we have been in the past -- you need everybody, everybody to have that drive, that desire."

That guy is clueless. They hired a subpar coach in Klinsman. His only value was getting dual nationals. To his detriment, even crappy dual nationals. He was not respected in Europe as a coach, only as a player.

So it's the foreigner players fault that we suck , a few players don't make the team, it's more than that it takes team chemistry. There is just not enough talent here
