Klinsmann: ‘We have to swallow that pill’
United States coach Jurgen Klinsmann was disappointed his team won’t be heading to the Gold Cup final Sunday.
“It’s unfortunate, but that’s reality,” he said. “We have to swallow that pill.”
More than that, a 2-1 loss to Jamaica in the Gold Cup semifinals was a striking reminder that Klinsmann, approaching four full years as the U.S. coach, has yet to push the national team from the fringe of international contention to a full-fledged powerhouse.
