U.S. Close to Getting Its Man

Reports from many media outlets have Juergen Klinsmann finally coming to terms with the U.S. Soccer the next coach of the men's national team. Since his resignation from a German squad that unexpectedly placed third in the 2006 World Cup, Klinsmann has been hotly pursued by U.S. Soccer president Sunil Gullati.

But even though U.S. international Steve Cherundolo told a German television station that Klinsmann had filled the void left by Bruce Arena, Gulati has said that no conclusion has been reached. Should Gulati lure Klinsmann, who makes his home in California, to the Yanks' side, you can expect an up-tempo, attacking style of play from Sam's Army in the coming years.
