Major Issues for US Team

While the Jurgen Klinsmann ERA seemed to get off with a hitch by gaining a tie in a friendly against Mexico, his current losses to both Costa Rica and Belgium seem to be turning reporters' heads the other way. And while Klinsmann shouldn't be taking the blame yet, down the road there will be some times in which the US might be looking for another coach to turn this somewhat-sorry franchise around.


Now while the Costa Rica result might not be that surprising, fans didn't expect them to lose to Belgium, whom they expected to get a win from. There was no doubt some aggressiveness from the US side early on in the match but somehow they managed to eliminate that and let Belgium get away with a win.

Yet another lesson has be learned in the Klinsmann ERA and that he needs to find the players he needs to ultimately allow this team to be qualifiers for the World Cup in 2014. There doesn't seem to be a whole lot going on right now in terms of getting the right players and it seems the plays aren't really helping the US team get anywhere, at least for right now.

Jurgen Klinsmann will stay on the seat for now. The question is: How long will it be before the US National Team President decides that Klinsmann is just not cut out to be the coach for the team. I'm not saying Klinsmann is a bad coach. I'm just saying that Klinsmann might have walked into a situation he wasn't necessarily ready for.

For now, it all seems done and done. The US team has got their work cut out for them and in time, we'll see if it really helps this team down the stretch towards the World Cup. So far, questions but only most of them have been answered.
