Can his son go too?

Good news. The team had obviously gone as far as he could take them. Now lets get someone good as Brasil 2014 is on the horizon

The US plays Mexico in 2 weeks so I am assuming they have someone in mind and will announce soon who?

Sounds like they already have someone. Hopefully US Soccer will also upgrade their talent evaluation capabilities.

About freaking time!

Bring on Klinsmann

I am so freaking stoked and this is long overdue. Go fade to Bolivian, Bob.

Take his son and Bornstein with him too. Thank God he's gone. Long over due

Klinsy appears to be a good choice, considering that half the US team is German anyway....

Do y'all really think a new coach is going to magically make the US better? Bob did about as well as anyone could with the talent he has.

The US' problems aren't manifested in the decision of who coaches the national team. When soccer ceases to be an elitist sport in this country, then the US can move forward. Until then, expect more of the same.

It's no wonder US Soccer has to scour other foreign leagues to find players who might have a connection to the US.

Still no official word, but reports are it's Kilnsmann.

No shock. It's a good move and probably a year overdue. But I agree with the previous post...anyone expecting Juergen to walk in and work miracles with these players is in for a rude awakening. His greatest contribution will come in what he does for the youth development programs.www.nj.com/soccer-news/index.ssf/2011/07/jrgen_klinsmann_is_us_soccers.html

1899 the problem is not that Bradley didnt make the US elite, its that he had a hard time keeping the US from being below average. He didnt get out of the talent he had what was possible. He was a last minute goal against Al freaking geria away from being fired a year ago and his coaching ineptness against Ghana is still infuriating. Lets not even talk the most recent Gold Cup fiasco.

I respectfully disagree. The US is just not as talented as most people think. Bob sucked the marrow out of the talent he had. They US played with a lot of guts, and against most teams in this region, that is enough.

Clint Dempsey is easily the best player for the US, but somehow can't get a sniff outside of Fulham. He is now Fulham's all-time leading goal scorer, which is akin to Crash Davis breaking the Minor League Home run record.
