(Hint: No it didn't!)
First off, the United States loses the third-place match to Panama on penalties. Probably a deserved result, but yet everybody wants to rag on Klinsmann.
Here's another hint: He's too good for the quality of players he has.
The next match the USA will competitively play will be the playoff with Mexico for the Confederations Cup berth in October.
Not only is how they got there iffy, but they'll have a new coach when it's all said and done.
After two open referee-deliverances, Mexico Mexicoed Jamaica (who defeated the USA in their semifinal) 3-1 in the Gold Cup Final.
However, after which, at the airport to head home, Christian Martinoli, a Mexican journalist who has been quite critical of El Tri over the course of recent years, was punched by now-former Mexican coach Miguel Herrera, whose demeanor on the sideline, it is rumored, makes me look sane.
For this, today, Herrera was fired! And he should've been.
But isn't it always this way with Mexico (and CONCACAF in general)? One step forward, how many back?
