THE KLINNSMAN ERA WITH THE USMNT

Football in the United States has been growing over the years, despite not being the star sport in that country. This has been thanks to good performances, marketing and the order that has resulted from the MLS league as well as the importing of “franchise” players such as David Beckham, Thierry Henry and others. This is how the clubs are starting to fill the stadiums with fans, loyal to their city and team, and are making soccer a favorite sport among youth and families.

Fans in the United States are more than happy with the work that the coach Jürgen Klinsmann has been doing with the national team, despite the harsh criticism that he received at the beginning of his work with the team.

Klinsmann took charge in July 2011 taking the place of Bob Bradley who is currently directing the Egyptian national team with big success.

When Klinsmann started working with the United States National Team, there were doubts as to his performance in front of the selection because of the poor results that they were having; the national team was not responding as quickly as fans, officials and media wanted, but Klinsmann asked for patience  and continuity, and it was then that since the years 2012/13, there has been more than successes to Klinsmann and the United States team, as the statistics are in favor of them. In the 2012/13 season, in the twenty-two games that have occurred between friendlies, the Gold Cup, and qualification for the Brazil 2014 World Cup, the team has won sixteen games, drawn three and lost just three.
