Couple things I like about Klinsmann-led US National team (versus the past regime):
1. We pass the ball in tight spaces much better (a lot less freak-out passes that cant be handled or hospital passes)
2. A lot less "kick-ball" (we move the ball up the field on the ground, rather than all-or-nothing long balls)
3. We attack, even when we're up. I love this style of play. How many times in the past did we see a US team go up 1-0....play conservative, and give up late goals (for a tie)?
4. Klinsmann is putting players in positions to be successful (how many times did Bradley tweak our formation and screw donovan - and others - and have them playing a position uncomfortable to them?)
Let's hope this carries over to the big-time games and the WC.
