US Is On the Right Track

So far so good for new US men's soccer head coach Jurgen Klinsmann. Yesterday, he made his debut in a match against rival Mexico and boy was it a debut to remember.

The US got a late goal from Robbie Rogers and they took a 1-1 draw with Mexico, showing that signs of life for the US are good so far. But Klinsmann still has work to do and the draw against Mexico was certainly a start.

If the US plans on making some considerable runs and get the wins they need, Klinsmann will have to show to the team what it means to be representing the country. He did that before the match by stripping the names off players' back and just assigned them the numbers, representating that he's trying to teach them to forget about their names and their reputation and just represent the country.

This was something Bob Bradley couldn't even have done. Jurgen Klinsmann is certainly showing that the US can fight in the world of soccer and he's certainly showing that early.

I don't know what'll happen to the US down the stretch but I think it's a good start to come on. The U.S.'s next friendly is against Costa Rica on Saturday, September 2nd at the Home Depot Center. There'll be a lot more things ahead before their big match with them, so know that Klinsmann knows what needs to be done and how to turn this team into remarkable World Cup contenders. Certainly, the stepping stones have fallen into pieces and this team knows where it's going.
