Ok, so who would have been a better hire after the Gold Cup last Summer? I can't think of anyone that would be better with qualifying so close.
I am hoping that with more guys sprinkled throughout Europe and the MLS improving slowly, that this team is headed in the right direction. I hopeNot disagreeing with you klinsmann won 3rd place with germany i don't think the us would get a coach with a better pedigree
USMNT already down 2-0 after 15 minutes in Guatemala. Horrendous performance, especially from the back line.
I really really hope this team is ready for tomorrow...
We don't lose in Columbus
I know there seems to be a "must-win" game each WCQ cycle, but this team seems particularly poor right now. First choice defenders are mostly injured, neither Guzan nor Howard seem up to the task, Dempsey is old, and there seems to be no idea from Klinnsman on how to create a lineup among the players we do have. At least we are now at a point where MLS will survive if the US did miss a World Cup, but it would still suck.

Good points. My concern is that if he is fired what is the replacement situation? Will this new coach be able to win with Jurgens players? I don't know the answers but the unknown of the whole thing scares me a bit.
Lets hope they come out tonight and put forth a quality effort and get a result.
Landon Donovan said today if Team USA loses tonight Jurgen should be fired....Thoughts?
I think it would be hard to argue with the decision. They fired Bradley even though he never failed to qualify for a WC, not to mention that he at least made the final of the Gold Cup in the year after his last WC (2011), where Jurgen finished 4th and then failed to qualify for the Federations Cup. And it's not like this team is on a steady upswing or anything like that.
On the other hand, I have no idea who they'd replace him with.
if they did I think Landon would be on the phone quickly asking for the job?
Maybe so. Seems like it would be hard to justify hiring somebody with no coaching experience though.
