I'm coming home from the casino right now. I can't wait to read more about the win/posts on Big Soccer!

Klinsmann has to feel "something" today. We didn't just win last night, we absolutely kicked a$$ last night. I know it is just one game, but I think it's clear that a huge turnaround has taken place. The mindset in itself is a complete 180. And I have always said sports, any sport, is a mental game first. We didn't remotely have the mental part down with Klinsmann, let alone his crazy strategies, trying to convert us to a foreign type of style, only playing certain players for political and insane reasons. So glad the page has been turned and we are out of that hellish situation!

Betty, I'm trying to remember something... was Clint out for those first WCQ matches we lost under JK? I'm trying to remember if his irregular heartbeat and time off was in play then? I think so, right? If so, it's possible JK calling out Dempsey in his tweet could be a slight message that we are back on the track because we got Dempsey back, not because of the coaching change, style change, formation change, communication change, lol.

Completely agree with that.

We were all on the same page, every player on the field understood what their specific assignment was, there was relaxation and a complete coming together attitude.

When is the last time we've seen Altidore play like that? It doesn't matter that he didn't score, his passes were crisp, he was listening to CP and Dempsey. CP specifically told him where he wanted the ball on the first goal, Altidore placed it perfectly, then CP assisted.

The chemistry was there too. It was just great to see.

Post game thread is 9 pages now!

Reading.

So far disagree about Bradley. He had a terrific goal and played great defensively. Even Landon said Bradley's a world class player because of his defense.

Agree with this:

Pulisic's finish was just so smooth. He's a natural talent.

Jozy's passing was fantastic and he deserved a goal.

Clint is the best big game player this country has ever produced. I hope he can give us a solid 65minutes or so in PAN.

**jediwands** · 03-25-2017, 01:34 PM

Thank you:

Ok, we get it. You don't like michael ( twice).

Pick a game were he doesn't score and anchor the defense to say it.

He played a great game.

Huge win for the United States the night. We went from last place in the Hex up to fourth with third place Panama in our sights on Tuesday night.

Six goals as a USA Hex qualifying record. So long Klinsmann, props Bruce, long live the new king.

Let's not pat ourselves in the back too long and show Panama some of the same smash mouth soccer we handed to Honduras tonight

**jediwands** · 03-25-2017, 01:36 PM

What can you say about Deuce? He just continues to amaze. I hope he can keep it up in Panama. And although Jozy didn't score, I thought he had a very good game, and combined well with Pulisic and Deuce.

Precisely what I said, this trio was great.

**jediwands** · 03-25-2017, 01:41 PM

Arena > Klinnsman. So glad we are done with that blowhard.

**jediwands** · 03-25-2017, 01:42 PM

Donovan seems to enjoy the game now more than when he played.

Sad but true.

**jediwands** · 03-25-2017, 01:44 PM

For once I have to give Alexi Lalas some credit. In the post game he described the game as a "cleansing" which removed some of the bad mental and emotional baggage from the last few results. Spot on analysis for once. I hope that the team can build on this performance for the Panama game.

Thank you, Bruce.

Thank you for giving me my team back.

EXACTLY. I was so miserable as you know. I knew we were sunk until we fired the clown.

Great thought from the one poster about JK not trusting anyone who didn't play in Europe. Absolutely, 100%. So he put on mostly European based players and we played like trash. Hmm
