Jurgen Klinsmann again found himself on the receiving end the other night versus Denmark.
It was the same sort of situation when he had to explain things to the journalists why his team fell short.
And, the journalists had actually every right to demand an explanation from Klinsmann because it was a game which was well and truly in the pocket of the Yanks.
To throw it away from the position that they were in, they needed to display some very, very poor skills which they did.
If you are leading 2-1 when the game reaches its last 10 minutes, you can’t be losing that game. It’s as simple as that.
This has actually become a bit of a habit as far as the USA side is concerned. They give away their advantage rather too easily.
In the last 5 games that they have played, they have been beaten 4 times. It’s not that they have been outplayed in those games. It’s just the consistency which they have failed to show for the entire length of the game.

There was no way that Nicklas Bendtner should have been allowed to find the net twice in a span of 8 minutes to change the whole scenario at the end. It was just loose, pretty loose from USA.
Speaking in the press conference later on, Klinsmann said, “Late goals always hurt a lot. When you have a grip on the match, you have to keep it till the very end and it’s all about concentration you know. You can’t be taking it lightly at any point. If you drop your concentration a little bit and get slow, all of a sudden you will find you are in trouble as happened tonight. We lost it from a winning position.”
