US clinches World Cup slot. Mexico essentially eliminated. It was what is becoming a classic kind of Klinsmann US game. A slow first half to feel out the defense, fantastic readjustments at the half, so that the second half US team was unrecognizably faster and sharper than the first half. I don't know what Jurgen is telling these dudes at the half, but over the past several months its been working! Also, we shut out Mexico, yet again in Columbus, Ohio which is perhaps America's most raucous stadium for soccer. Mexico was rattled. Johnson gets a great goal in the second half by being patient. Then classic Klnismann, in comes Diskerud on a substitution and within 2 minutes he assisted Landon for a goal. Landon scores. Klinsmann has another miracle substitution to save the match. Great second-half readjustments. I can start liking this Jurgen USA style, much less hectic than the Bob Bradley era, where you literally never knew what to expect from match to match.
I'll say this, over the past few months our younger "B" guys who were in the Gold Cup have been playing better than our first team, maybe Jurgen should reevaluate the starting rosters for the World Cup.
