I can watch Windows miss over and over and each time I'm still surprised when he misses.

The actual miss is 100x worse than Wondos, from a technical perspective.

What we appreciated, and hated, about Wondo was that he would finish all these types of goals at CONCACAF level of play, but couldn't do it at any higher levels. He wouldn't have missed this one, and he would've made the WC roster, and then shanked it when we absolutely needed it.

The real issue was taking Green over Donovan. We could've used Donovan when Altidore got hurt.

People think I'm an idiot or something, because all I do is cut lawns for a living.

Klinsman did lots of great things. He had two big negatives.

1. His ego was enormous. Not picking Donovan was a petty weiner measuring contest. Landon wasn't out best striker, but he was a top 4 striker. He was borderline starter at midfield. Certainly, a guy on the roster. Absolute insanity to not have him on the roster.

2. He refused to coach the current game with his roster. He was always coaching for the games two years down the road. Getting playing time for Green is good idea. He was raw and needed seasoning. Klinsman picked him because he wanted Green to have WC experience for the tournament FOUR YEARS DOWN THE ROAD.
