Klinsi gets to work
German football great Jurgen Klinsmann, drafted in to guide the underachieving United States to the 2014 World Cup, says he's encouraged by what he's seen of his players so far.
"After a couple of days, I'm highly impressed with these guys," said Klinsmann, who will make his debut on the sideline for the United States in a friendly match against archrivals Mexico on Wednesday.
"We're going to give them a fight," Klinsmann vowed.
Klinsmann, hired on Friday, hasn't had much time to get to know his new players, but then again he has less than a year before the United States begins regional qualifying for the 2014 World Cup.
"We have a lot of questions to answer over the next couple of months," he said.
Klinsmann trained with about 13 players for the first time on Sunday evening and held his first full squad training session on Monday.
