Yeah it was a surprise. I hadn't really followed their qualifiers but I just sort of assumed they'd get through. That article does read like one disaster after another. Klinsmann probably did have some good ideas but by the time he was sacked I do think his time was up. Whether Arena was the right replacement, I dunno. But I assume he was just a short term appointment so a logical choice in lots of ways. Is there enough quality in the squad itself, compared with previous WCs?
