DTotD: A trick Klinsmann can teach the U.S.

Juergen Klinsmann is officially the new manager of the U.S. national team. With him comes the promise of radical new ideas and an attacking style of play, but exactly how he will transform the team (or not) remains a mystery.

Here's one aspect of the game from the 1990 World Cup final that Klinsmann clearly mastered. When Argentina's Pedro Monzon went in with a studs-up challenge, Klinsmann sold the drama of the moment with an epic leap followed by a fish out of water flop. With Klinsmann lying face down, the referee quickly showed Monzon a red card for his poor challenge and West Germany would go on the win 1-0 thanks to an 85th minute penalty.

This kind of thing might come in handy during Klinsmann's first match in charge of the U.S. team, which will be a friendly against Mexico on Aug. 10. Here's something else he might be able to teach them, too...
