Jurgen Klinsmann Is Targeting A USMNT Semifinal Run At The 2018 World Cup

Jurgen Klinsmann, the man who invented football in 2006 and created Miroslav Klose, Lukas Podolski and Bastian Schweinsteiger using nothing more than some bits of string and an abandoned Doritos bag, is targeting a top-four finish at the 2018 World Cup after finishing fifth in the Hex.

Jurgen Klinsmann Hits Back At Bruce Arena In His Own Subtle Way After USMNT Debacle

Bruce Arena and Jurgen Klinsmann are two very different people both hung with the blame for failing to get the U.S. to the 2018 World Cup (because it’s easier to blame coaches than the players fans worship).

In a certain light, Shaq Moore could be looked upon as a blueprint for young Americans looking to develop careers in professional soccer.
