I think that doing this blog has been somewhat beneficial. It allowed us to pick a topic that we were interested in and spend time surfing the web for information that we found interesting. I definitely learned some new things that I may not have discovered otherwise. The only bad part about the blog was that I kept forgetting to make an actual post. I would spend time looking up stuff that I thought was interesting, but then forget to write about it in an actual post.
Anyways, for my last post, I just wanted to mention something about the turmoil the US Soccer Federation is going through in order to find a new coach. Right after this past summer’s World Cup, Jurgen Klinnsman stepped down as the coach of the German team, and just about everyone thought he would be the next US coach. He lived in the US, his wife is American – perfect fit right? Apparently not. The US Soccer president did not seem to agree with Klinnsman’s vision for the team, and their negotions ended with Klinnsman removing his name from the search committee. Granted this past year was Klinnsman’s first year as a coach, he did lead Germany to a surprise 3rd place finish in the World Cup. That’s very impressive, not to mention his numerous titles as a player for Germany and his club teams in the early 90s. He must not know anything about winning.
Now we are stuck with Bob Bradley for the time being. Nothing against Bob, but we all had our hearts set on someone else. Thank you US Soccer for letting us down yet again.
