Klinsmann Plays Jerseys by the Numbers - NYTimes.com
 

PHILADELPHIA — The mystery of the no-name, strictly numbered United States national team jerseys for their game against Mexico on Wednesday night was really not <a href="http://www.afashionbuy.com/Handbags-LV-Handbag-f2-39-c3-15.html"><strong>lv handbags on sale</strong></a> a mystery at all.Call it more of a message. From Coach Jurgen Klinsmann’s postgame news conference:“There is no real concept behind that. There are 11 players out there and the numbers should be from 1 to 11. The only exception really is the World <a href="http://www.afashionbuy.com/Handbags-Prada-Handbag-f2-39-c3-16.html"><strong>discount prada handbags for sale</strong></a> Cups and the Gold Cups where they get their numbers throughout the tournament. I think that simplifies it a little bit and maybe people get confused when they see a player with a 98 on the field and they don't know where to put him. For me as a coach that makes things a little bit easier. We know that certain players have a favorite <a href="http://www.afashionbuy.com/Handbags-Juicy-Handbag-f2-39-c3-17.html"><strong>Cheap Juicy Handbags Outlet</strong></a> number and we try to accommodate it but I think it fits them better from 1-11 and it's a little bit of a signal that it's a fight going on for those numbers.”As for the lack of names on the jerseys? Klinsmann answered that with a sheepish shrug. There was no time for the team’s staff to put them on the shirts with the corresponding numbers. “I just told them this morning,” <a href="http://www.99tz.net/view.php?id=269"><strong>So if you want to buy Timberland products cheap why not search for ...</strong></a> he said of the 1-11 plan.
