Just saw on the ESPN bottom line that Jurgen Klinsmann and the USMNT have parted ways. Now what?

Sam Borden sports writer at the NY Times mentioned Bruce Arena, currently the GM for the LA Galaxy

This is not good.   Klinnsman has developed a lot of kids to compete in european leagues.

Semifinals at Copa America, and quarterfinals at world cup is not squat, it's actually the best the U.S. has ever done in those tournaments.

This was definitely the right move. Kilnsmann has done nothing to progress the USMNT since Bradley was fired. Unfortunately, hiring Arena isn't exactly inspiring either. Hoping it's on an interim or short-term basis and there's another coach they're targeting.

As I read earlier, Bruce Arena has been named the new head coach.

Looks like Arena will bring over all his assistants from LA Galaxy. Pat Noonan (IU '99-'02).
