Just three years ago, German international star Juergen Klinsmann was living in Los Angeles assisting in the development of young American talent for Orange County Blue Star of the Premier Development League, occasionally taking the field to provide lessons in person during the matches. He played eight games, scoring five goals and three assists while playing under the alias of Jay Goppingen (the name of his hometown) in obscurity... well, for a little while anyway.Now... he's 2-0-0 as the Manager of Germany in the World Cup.
Germany downed Poland 1-0 on a stoppage time goal from Oliver Neuville this afternoon after dominating the match with a 16-5 advantage in shots. Germany sits at 2-0-0 in the group, virtually assuring them of advancing to the Round of 16, which could be locked up with tomorrow's game between Ecuador and US rival Costa Rica.
