After another loss, Jurgen Klinsmann is beginning to come under fire. The United States lost 1-0 to Ecuador at home. The performance was impressive at times and tepid at others. However, despite the frustration of losing, there are some positives to take away.
Chief among them would be the performance of Oguchi Onyewu who looked better than we've seen him in years.

Jurgen Klinsmann's appointment as the head coach of the US Mens National Team was met with excitement for many reasons. The stagnating program looked at Klinsmann as a proven winner who could help reestablish the USA as the dominant nation in CONCACAF while helping to build a system to make the Nats more dangerous in international competitions and against European opponents.

Following the recent appointment of Jurgen Klinsmann as the coach of the US Mens National Team, the focus of US Soccer has turned to Philadelphia, where the Nats will play host to Mexico on Wednesday night in an effort to kick off Klinsmann's US career by turning over a three match losing streak against their arch-rivals.

Run DMB has a new club. After failing to make an impact with Hannover 96 last season, Beasley has come back across the pond and signed. Since MLS couldn't or was unwilling to meet his salary demands (expected to be $500K+ /season), he moved a little south and joined Puebla in the Mexican Primera Division.

I hope everyone is dried out from the storms drenching Qwest field this weekend. The 1-1 tie against the Portland Timbers was a bit of a let-down for sure, but it was a decent result considering the huge hit injuries have had on the Seattle Sounders. One thing that certainly wasn't a let down was the massive tifo put together by the ECS for the match.
