regardless of who's coaching. Dempsey and Donovan's careers might be on the downswing, we still don't have any strikers or central defense, the kid from California at La Masia will only be like 14, etc. In short, we still don't have the players to play anything resembling attractive soccer. If Klinsmann can help get the development system sorted, I would judge his tenure a success (obviously we won't know this for a while). But we're still better served being pragmatic for the time being.

And for the superstitious:
