Jurgen Klinsmann trotted out an experimental lineup against Brazil and his team paid the price, dropping a 4-0 decision that leaves the U.S. limping into the CONCACAF Cup
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. — Shortly after the U.S. national team defeated Peru on Friday, Jurgen Klinsmann was asked whether he would experiment against Brazil. The coach laughed and made it clear that a team like Brazil isn't the kind of team you "try things" against.
The implication was that Klinsmann would deploy his strongest possible lineup against Brazil, but the starting group he used Tuesday night was very experimental.
