Looks Like We Got Our Man?

Remember soccer? It's that sport that we were all obsessed with, oh, six months ago before the USA crashed out of the World Cup and college football began. Well, after the dismal showing in Germany, US Soccer fired head coach Bruce Arena and all has been quiet on the western front since. Until now. According to this article at Fox Sports, US Soccer will name Jurgen Klinsmann the next head coach of the US Men's National Soccer Team within two weeks. Ever since the World Cup ended, Arena was fired, and Klinsmann (who lives in the US and is married to an American) stepped down as head coach of the German team, most US soccer fans have been hoping for Klinsmann's appointment. Looks like we got our wish. Now we'll find out if Germany taking 3rd in WC '06 was a fluke or if Klinsmann is the real deal. That January friendly with Denmark just got a lot more interesting...

UPDATE: Looks like the penny-pinchers in the USSF have reneged on the deal with Klinsmann and will name Bob Bradley as an interim coach, with the possibility of making his appointment permanent. Good grief, you've got to spend some money to make some money...
