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."

I got it and chuckled, it was Eric Wynalda btw. 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.

Now that you mention Wynalda, I vaguely remember this. Also, Soren is such a dork.

I want to go on record in saying I want to use the USMNT team thread feat WC14.

How the hell is this different than creating a separate MLS thread?

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.

Soccer fans can be so pretentious sometimes.  Some people don't know very much about soccer and are just starting to learn.  Big deal.  Get over yourselves.

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

Plus this is supposed to be the land of opportunity right? What type of country would this be if we didn't allow stud Germans the opportunity to mush their fellow/former countrymen?

[sunny_cat]

It is also okay to post in here about other national teams. Just keep it to international soccer, all right guys!
