Mike Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 Out for another six months. World Cup isn't in six months, so as long as he gets back it'll be fine. We need to steal that Argentine forward that grew up in Texas. Rogelio Funes Mori? Yeah. You know anything about him? I've never seen him play.

cubaricho Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 Fucking Yanks. http://img40.imageshack.us/img40/7668/72995893displayimage.jpg This blows my mind, for some reason. Sly and the owner of Everton are buddies or something if I remember correctly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 I can't even imagine Sly having friends. I can't believe Sly is a real person. Like that night he was at the Eagles game? That murdered me. Rocky/Rambo is a real dude? That's craaaazy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need to steal that Argentine forward that grew up in Texas. Rogelio Funes Mori? Yeah. You know anything about him? I've never seen him play. Aye, he's not the best. He had a lot of hype from one of the youth tournaments as he did ok IIRC(possibly as a result of being bigger than everyone else as is often the case at youth level) but he was a striker that couldn't get in a relegated River team last season that averaged less than a goal a game and was crying out for a number 9. Might come good eventually but I've seen nowt in him to suggest he will more than anyone else. The Argieball podcast that I listen too who's host is a River fan absolutely fucking hates him.

CaliMag Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 There's definitely potential in the team, but I don't think Klinsmann is the answer. Please elaborate. I think he is easily the best we coudl do outside of Caleb Porter (Akron Zips Coach). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phillip Lahm absolutely slated him in his book as having no tactical nouse or ability bar motivation what so ever during his time at Deutschland and Bayern. Said at Germany Jögi Löw did all the work and as he didn't follow Klinnsy to Bayern he fell flat on his face. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes Kilnsy has the big name and is a coup and that but Bradley did have tactics etc. albeit not brilliant ones. I'm just going off what Lahm said btw, he may well do a fine job and be exactly what USA needs. You'll qualify for the World Cup or whatever regardless so it doesn't really matter.

That is the best "damning with faint praise" I have read in a while. Not meant that like that at all but if you didn't qualify it would be fucking ridiculous. I think even Kinnear could guide you to the WC. It's only yourselves and Mexico in that region that carry any weight although Canada in a couple of decades may be there or there abouts depending on how the MLS expansion goes.

I think he is easily the best we coudl do outside of Caleb Porter (Akron Zips Coach). For me he hasn't displayed any ability at managerial level. He got very lucky with Germany and Bayern he really did just fall on his arse. As for potential replacements? You could have done worse than giving Ben Olsen a go, a guy that's galvanized the DC side and got them playing decent. I just think Klinsmann is no different to the likes of Vogts and other famous players who trade on their name and coach sides who don't really know better.
