right, i made that caveat (re: crappy qualifiers) early in my comment, but still, it was like watching "Team WTF". had no idea the players were complaining about that but it was plain to see yesterday.

my guess then is perhaps klinsmann is so confident we'll qualify that he's just experimenting with different people in different positions trying to see what happens. (???) i think i've seen the word "experimental" thrown somewhere.

speaking of crappy qualifiers-- spain 1 finland 1? i would have loved to witness that. also (for better reasons) alaba's goal for austria.
