Brilliant!!!
...and btw - Klinsmann demonstrated...is demonstrating great managerial qualities.
a) It is a study/is amazing how he took the Eddie Johnson timid and lacking in confidence and has brought him along 'little by little' - 15 minutes here and 15 minutes there.
All in the face of relentless criticism and snipping on 'does Klinsmann know what he is doing'...'doubts on whether or not he is the right man for the job'...and even churlish remarks - Note Bruce Arena's...
Amazing!
b) ...and his handling of Landon Donavon. Donavon has obviously sang his sankie and may yet find his way home (back into the national TEAM)? Do not yet think he has cemented his place even after his so far impressive Gold Cup performances with this USA TEAM lacking some starters. ...but???? Donavon is slowly regaining his confidence and definitely is playing TEAM games of the very highest order since he came into the USA national team. If he regains his shooting boots and continues to play TEAM as he now does then he should be a shoo-in.
He certainly is evidence of another master piece of manipulation by Klinsmann.
Amazing!
Hey! ...there are teachers=coaches and there are teachers=coaches!!!
Klinsmann, regardless of what happens here on out, is a master teacher=coach!!!Last edited by Karl; July 23, 2013, 02:27 PM."Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has."Comment

"sang his sankie".........LMAO
This isn't Jamaica's football program......Business & Money controls U.S. soccer and any other major sport. All Donovan had to say publicly was that he was ready to rejoin the team & the wheels were set in motion. The supporters wanted him back, U.S. Federation wanted him back, Nike wanted him back, his teammates (especially the veterans) wanted him back, and with all the song & dance and bruised ego Klinsman wanted him back, because he knew he had no one to replace Donovan's leadership & production.Comment

Do you think for the current World Cup campaign -- inclusive of USA's participation in Brazil - that the final chapter is written?
I do not think so; (as) it remains to be seen if Donovan will accept that he is merely one member of squad and continue to be 'pure' TEAM!!!"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has."Comment

Stop worrying about Donovan. It's DONE!!!
Focus on your friend Burrell & hope he sings a sankie & find Jamaica a football program, and qualify the 'Boyz for the WC.Comment

Not worried about Donovan as "In Klinsmann I trust!"Originally posted by USAF View Post
Burrell and his JFF has tired me!
...as far as they are concerned whatever they do...it is now (currently)
to me - "whatever!" It shall take sometime for my batteries to be recharged!"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has."Comment
