It's always important, I think, to point out the rather inescapable fact I don't really know anything. This is something one of my writing models,
Joe Posnanski, likes to often remind his readers, and it's a plan I think is worth shadowing. Because really, I don't know anything. I'd like to think I know things, but I really just, for the most part, have things I think.
Sure, there are some things I know. I
know Jurgen Klinsmann is the coach of the U.S. Men's National Team, for example. I
know he wants to play a more creative, expressive style than his predecessors. I
know he wants to change the culture of youth soccer in this country. I
know he's off to a 0-2-1 start in friendlies against Mexico, Costa Rica and Belgium. There are other things I know, too, like the fact the U.S.'s colors are red white and blue and that we have 50 states, but not a whole lot else relevant to this discussion.
I do
think, though, we're having a hard time wrapping our Yankee brains around exactly what is going to happen under Jurgen Klinsmann. Or, perhaps more accurately, what we
think should happen under Jurgen Klinsmann.
