well nobody got it so i am going to just tell the whole story.right after USA hired Jurgsy, keitz had some national soccer expert or whatever on BTL. they are talking about the hire and what it means for USMNT going forward, etc. then KK asks this guy if it was odd that they hired a non-American coach. "you know, shouldn't the coach be from the country he's coaching??" the expert paused for, like, an eternity, and then said (i'm paraphrasing): "you know, kevin, i have played soccer my whole life and covered international soccer for XX years, and i have never once thought that, or heard anyone else anywhere say or ask anything like that before in my entire life."

Did anyone hear Petro's interview with Robb last week? He didn't know who the coach of the MNT was, he thought it may have been an MLS coach. He asked Robb how Peter would balance both jobs if he became coach of the national team. Truly embarrassing.
I'm blaming Man City for this soccer thread consolidation. If they wouldn't have whipped SD's team so badly he wouldn't have gone on a rampage.Sunny

Some people don't know very much about soccer and are just starting to learn. Big deal. Get over yourselves.

Get over yourselves.I dunno, I think wanting a national team coach to ONLY be from said country is pretty gross, borderline xenophobic
