USMNT’s Copa Run Leaves a Few Important Questions About Program Moving Forward

The more we want things to change, the more they stay the same.  Instead of trotting out an experimental side in the third-place game of the Copa America Centenario, United States men’s national team manager Jurgen Klinsmann opted for a veteran-laden starting XI that produced few positives in a 1-0 defeat to Colombia.  Klinsmann, who caught criticism for using Kyle Beckerman, Chris...

After a dismal performance in the semifinal round of the Copa America Centenario on Tuesday, the United States men’s national team are set to partake in the third-place match of the competition against Colombia on Saturday.

Jurgen Klinsmann Fails USMNT in Biggest Match Since World Cup

Welcome back to the place we’ve revisited all too often during the Jurgen Klinsmann era.  Just as the United States men’s national team appeared to take a step ahead in the Copa America Centenario, they regressed in their 4-0 semifinal loss to Argentina.

Coping with DeAndre Yedlin’s Absence Key for USMNT to Advance to Copa Semifinal

For the last two weeks, the United States men’s national team has received plenty of praise for its performances in defense.
