Will the U.S. hire a guy who doesn't even speak English to be their next soccer coach?

Japan hired a coach who can't even speak Japanese. \nIt's all about skill.

The USA has the talent but have not played together as a team yet. It will take a huge effort to get out of our group but if we do, I thimk we can go far.

Yes i do, althou the us team need to learn how to score goals and win matches.

He cant do a worse job than the recent captains..the main problem for the US is to get them playing like a team, and anyone who can supress the egos of a disparate bunch of superstars stands a chance. Europe's players are individually not as good, but as a team they have been kicking our butts recently.

Who cares if they get a different coach.  They dont have enough talent, no matter how many people they turn into naturalized citizens. Landon Donovan predicted that they would win the world cup.  that idiot.  He was the most overrated player of the world cup. I dont think he can play in our league we have of over 30 players..

It is our own U.S team's coach. He fail to put any good striker to the front. If you don't score, the other team will. It is just that simple. The way the U.S team played were totally disaster. Hopefully he will resign !

Yes the Us are really that behind in word soccer don't read anything into being ranked fifth in the world no world class players and no tactical knowledge sorry not trying to offend but that team needs a new manager and a new approach to the game

I believe the USA can win the World Cup this year.  Noone is writing us off this time around.  We are ranked in the top 10 by FIFA.  To go along with our ranking, we have some of the best goalkeeping in the world (Keller, Howard, and a number of MLS keepers like Reis and Hartman).  We have a solid defense with Bocanegra, Onyewu, Hejduk, and Pope (and maybe even Pablo Mastroeni).  World-class midfielders in Landon Donovan and DaMarcus Beasley will be stepping onto the pitch (not to mention the solid job players like Kerry Zavagnin put forth each and every time they take the field).  Up top, we have the emergence of Taylor Twellman in the international game and the return of Eddie Johnson to the fold.  We have a coach in Bruce Arena who, I believe, if he leaves after the tournament, should get a top-flight European league job next fall (Malcolm Glazer hiring Bruce Arena at ManU if Sir Alex Ferguson were to leave?  A long shot maybe, but intriguing.).  Add to that, one of Italy's best players, Francesco Totti, recently went down with a serious injury and will be out until at least May.  Even if he does come back for the tournament, will he be at full strength?  Ghana's midfielder Laryea Kingston will also miss the tournament through suspension.  While we have a tough road to travel both in our group and with the possibility of Brazil lurking in the round of 16, I believe the USA has the ability to take on the world's best and win it all.

He will in a couple years and then it will be on to the NEXT moron since no one qualified is stupid enough to run.  It is all a joke at this point.

Sorry...He's so stupid that he doesn't know to speak English

Funny.  I didn't know that Americans were the only ones who spoke English...  I guess England would not count then, right?  Don't they play a bit of soccer over there?  I think that it should all be hand signals.  Is there that much that needs to be communicated by the refs??  I think language is a silly requirement.  How about requiring that they are good refs?  That would be something.

Oh yeah i was wondering about the mess on his head. \nHowever, abc took an interview of a former US team captain (forgot his name) before a us game, and he looked even worse with long, greasy, black hair. I guess the soccer players just stick with their style no matter what, maybe they think that their old fans would recognize them better that way.

he can if he wants, HE WAS TWO TIME FIFA PLAYER OF THE YEAR. he doesnt go to anyplace. that place goes to him. but no one would speak his language. fc barcelona is fine.

Without a question.  He has gotten tactically lazy and we need new blood to shape this team in the future with the young players coming in.  Bruce was the coach for the McBride/Keller/Reyna era.  We're entering the Convey/Spector/Howard era.  There are going to be holdovers who are still young like Beasley and Donovan but this is not the same team and needs a new coach.\n\nBesides that, he has never prepared us against the toughest teams in the world.  He should have been fired the second he turned down another invitation to Copa America in 2004.

I don't see why not...it's just a matter of time, they've got the players but they have to play better and we all know they can. After Bruce Arena talked to Landon Donovan, the latter went out and played much better, also the coach omitted to send Eddie Johnson, an aggressive forward, to prove himself against Italy.

Football is an international game. It doesn't matter much whether one is native or can speak, it is more whether he can build a solid team and be tactically astute. Like Hans Krankl, Otto Rehagel, Gus Hiddink or Carlos Alberto Parreira

It is not a question if, it is a question of when. He'll certainly be fired after his team's performance, only scoring one goal in three matches. I think a more player oriented coach would be a good choice. Eric Wynalda who ESPN hired on as an analyst for the World Cup would be a great choice in my opinion.
