Indeed as that has been the hallmark of USMNT football....

Alexi Lalas @AlexiLalas Some questioning the heart and fight of <s>#</s>USMNT vs. Ireland. If that fundamental and inherent U.S. trait becomes lost, then all is lost.

Next FIFA rankings will be out on Thanksgiving Day......expect the USA to fall quite a bit again.....maybe even into the 30's.....which if we actually blooding youngsters I would have no problem with.....

When Klinsmann had his contract extended and also assumed the role of U.S. technical director, he said that the first cycle was about laying the foundation for what he wanted to achieve in the second cycle. Through five games since the end of the World Cup, the Americans have regressed and the passion has been sorely missing.

U.S. Soccer is gambling that Klinsmann will avoid the poor second cycles that plagued former national team coaches Bruce Arena and Bob Bradley. If the last few months are any indication, that may not be such a smart bet.
