Interesting. I thought is was a done deal with Klinsmann too. One of the knocks on Klinsmann was that he doesn't speak Spanish. So they bump him for a guy that doesn't speak English.  Not sure I want the guy who couldn't figure out a way to find Messi more than 30 minutes in the entire 2006 World Cup. |

Do you know how many coaches are out there at various European soccer teams that work through a translator?
A lot.

Sure, I know that. It wasn't me that was knocking him. It was the press and (if the reporting is right) US Soccer who felt the next manager had to know Spanish.  |

Ridiculous, that's all I'm saying. If Sir Alex Ferguson would be in for the position and could not speak Spanish, would they tell him no? This shows how this country has everything backwards, sadly..  |

I read "sheep stewards", which amused me greatly.
