Fox Sports saying same thing.

quote:

Here's Doug McIntyre at ESPN FC on a time Klinsmann claimed he lost because a tournament was rigged. He told Gulati that he was convinced that the Gold Cup was fixed so Mexico would win, setting up the big-money playoff match against the U.S., a viewpoint that exasperated his boss.


Can believe this was they guy running the show. The players must be relieved.

It was but it is not like we lost to the team that it was rigged for. We lost to fricking Jamaica

Mexico definitely got some BS calls to let them into the final undeservingly, but that's no excuse for how pitiful we were that tournament.

Rigged? He's just pandering to Trump so he doesn't get deported.

He's a blond haired, blue eyed German though, so he has a pretty good chance at sticking around anyway.
