Jurgen Klinsmann has sought to brush off a historic loss on home turf to Mexico and believes his United States team can grab a first ever win in Costa Rica on Tuesday night.
Following a 2-1 defeat that ended the U.S. team’s perfect record against Mexico in Columbus, Ohio, Klinsmann has faced plenty of criticism for starting his players in an unfamiliar 3-5-2 formation before switching late in the first half. Yet immediately following the loss, he blamed the individual performances of his midfielders Michael Bradley and Jermaine Jones for the system’s failure.
