Jurgen Klinsmann Q&A: Is he happy with U.S. progress since 2014 WC?

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- The current World Cup cycle has been uneven to say the least for the U.S. men's national team and manager Jurgen Klinsmann. There have been brutal defeats to Jamaica in the 2015 Gold Cup and to Guatemala in World Cup qualifying. Yet the U.S. performed well overall at the Copa America Centenario, achieving Klinsmann's goal of making the semifinals. Progression to the final round of World Cup qualifying remains on track though there is still work to be done ahead of World Cup qualifiers against St. Vincent and the Grenadines on Friday, as well as Trinidad & Tobago on Sept.
