Still preposterous regarding your ref commentary. And not one point made in that link has to be a sustainable or long term concern. I also like that he's experimenting with lineups now. Your overreacting is not unusual though.

Answer the question: What is preposterous about it?

For the lineups, it's all fine to experiment in friendlies, but it's unacceptable to be experimenting at a major tournament. Pick a lineup, stick with it.

The concerns raised in the article are legitimate. The fitness concerns were raised last year at the World Cup when Jozy and Besler went off injured in the first game. Player selection has been controversial as well, between the Donovan fiasco and leaving a player like Besler behind this year or his continued insistence on playing Timmy Chandler.

The basic question to ask is: Is the USMNT better than it was 4 years ago? I don't think they are at this point.

You're correct about Bradley, he's looked terrible. Klinsmann is the main problem on that, he wants him to play as a CAM and that's not his position. Bradley's a box-to-box destroyer, not the lynch pin of the attack.

He was talking about the elder Bradley.

Well, a few less reckless challenges and some softer touches, and Jamaica would be up right now.

They are showing some fun ball handling out there.

Throw rum, not trash.

I'm not firing Klinnsman over the Gold Cup. If we lose to Mexico in the playoff match or the struggles continue to bleed over to qualifying, then maybe.

What exactly has he done that has been good? I just think he's a horrible tactician and its wearing on the team...

I like Fox's MLS coverage but the best part? Julie Stewart-Binks. Mmmmmm....
