If the word 'identity is the stumbling block, I'll call it something else, but all I'm saying is that when I watched the USA under Bradley I got a real sense of what he wanted them to be. Yes it was passive, and stubborn but there was a coherent vision there, and while I can see why some might've found it a bit unambitious and certainly not that exciting, I actually enjoyed watching them. When I watch them under Klinsmann I don't see any sense of what he wants them to be. He obviously wants them to be successful but where's his method? He doesn't seem to be building anything concrete. And apart from anything else that makes it really hard for the players who won't know what's expected of them from one game to the next.
