I have always liked Klinsmann and he should be a great asset, but I think there will be many a pissed-off, present-day American national team player if his coaching stint with the German national team is any indication. When he took over the German national team he initially made quite a few enemies by getting rid of alot of the older, more established German players. He went with a younger, faster team and based his selections more on present ability and not on past glory. Until the team started winning many a German fan and former national player wanted his head on a platter.

If nothing else, the games should be a little more interesting since he has always been more offensively minded.

Hope he does well, but initially I think it will be bloody.
