Bruce Arena is right man for the USMNT job

It finally happened, late in the afternoon of Monday, November 21, 2016: Jurgen Klinsmann got the sack. It was a surprise, at least in the sense that it required his greatest ally - US Soccer President Sunil Gulati - to do the deed. But it also wasn't surprising, as he had long been making questionable lineup and tactical decisions, and the results his US Men's National Team delivered did not provide adequate answers to those questions.

Subsequently, as had been widely tipped, US Soccer announced Klinsmann's replacement as USMNT head coach: Bruce Arena was the choice from Soccer House in Chicago.
