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.

France’s goalkeeper Hugo Lloris is generally regarded as one of the best shot-stoppers in the world, but Swedish winger Emil Forsberg fooled him and everyone with this knuckleball of a free kick.

As anyone familiar with the English Premier League or Brazil’s national team knows that Phillipe Coutinho is wont to try and bang in a long range golazo if you give him so much as an inch of space.
