Can even Jurgen “The Petty King” Klinsmann neglect Sacha Kljestan?

Is it even possible for Klinsmann to drop Kljestan from the roster for the Hex opener against Mexico?

Jurgen Klinsmann is the Petty King. He’s got a few of the tendencies of a high schooler. Or a disgruntled ex-boyfriend or ex-girlfriend who blocks their past flame across every medium of communication except for a small window to text them Game of Thrones spoilers before they have a chance to watch it. Then block them again before they can respond.

Klinsmann also has an ego, but what high-level professional player doesn’t? His pettiness is what matters and what’s evident.
