The USMNT Should Not Be Coached By An American
The ambitious, erratic, controversial, variously thrilling and maddening tenure of Jurgen Klinsmann as USMNT manager is over, and no one can seriously argue that he didn’t earn his firing.

U.S. Soccer Still Needs Jurgen Klinsmann, But Maybe Not As Manager
We’ve been here before. Another disappointing USMNT loss, this time an especially egregious pants-shitting at Costa Rica, more tactical madness and puzzling formation choices, more hints of behind-the-scenes acrimony, and again, more calls for Jurgen Klinsmann’s job. None of that is new. What is dif...
LeBron James Has No Patience For Phil Jackson

Italian National Team Coach On Giovinco Snub: Come On, MLS Blows
Sebastian Giovinco is far and away the best player in MLS, a bullshit soccer league more invested in protecting its owners from the forces of competition than in producing top-level competition on the pitch.

(In that instance, it’s Robben’s dangl...
