This could set US Soccer back 30 years:
Sven-Goran Eriksson is being considered as a replacement for Bruce Arena as coach of the United States, the New York Times reported Friday. The newspaper said that United States Soccer Federation officials have spoken to the former England coach, although the Americans may struggle to meet his wage demands if he seeks a similar pay deal to the one he had with England.
All I can say is that before they even think of making him an offer, they should do two things:
1) Watch the impotent disaster that was the England attack in the last World Cup.
2) Watch the World Cuppa skit with the Sven Goran puppet stalking Natalie then stealiing panties without her realizing it, followed by his running off and sniffing them. “Oh, Heaven!” It was one of the funniest things I have ever seen on TV.
Sven Goran didn’t manage to do anything but bang his secretary at the Football Association. McClaren did all his coaching for him and his team selections were insane. (Four strikers is fine, but not when two of them are injured and one is a teenager who has NEVER PLAYED A FIRST-TEAM PROFESSIONAL GAME IN HIS LIFE!)
Seriously, the problem isn’t that I would be a better choice for US Soccer than Sven Goran Eriksson, it’s that Spacebunny would be too.
