USMNT fans in New York booed Jurgen as he emerged from the tunnel. Needless to say, fans are sick of him saying outrageous stuff.

We are giving the ball away WAYYYYY too much. Ball control is key against a squad like Costa Rica.

HT: United States 0 - 0 Costa Rica

A couple of good saves to keep the score knotted at nil. Including a Brad Evans butt save.

Yeah, this team is just going through the motions. They don't want Klinsmann and it shows.

And honestly, can you blame them right now?

Hell no I don't blame them. I want him gone yesterday. There's no excuse for the shit show we've seen since the WC. And the way he's ripped MLS hasn't helped his cause, either. Regardless of whether or not he's right, you have to understand your talent, where it's coming from, and how they feel. These guys love MLS and want to build it into a legitimately competitive league. Klinsmann going out of his way to rip it repeatedly created a lot of ill will.

Klinnsmann's ripping of the MLS made many USMNT fans resent him. Klinnsmann should be talking up the MLS since it could basically be a training ground for the USMNT.

FT: Costa Rica 1 - 0 United States

First time since 1997 that the United States Men's National Team has lost three straight home matches.

Oh...and I hear boos raining down from the stands in New York which had a majority Costa Rica fanbase.

This is just a pathetic performance heading into World Cup Qualifying. Absolutely pathetic. Klinnsmann better be gone. I can't understand keeping him. No benefit at all.

+1 Completely indefensible to keep Klinsmann at this point.
