Klinsmann arrives in Sao Paulo

The USMNT is working out at Morumbi, home of Sao Paulo FC

 

Yesterday, Jurgen Klinsmann held the first USMNT workout at their World Cup camp in Sao Paulo. The team will train in Sao Paulo and then return for a friendly against South Korea at the Stubhub Center, formerly Home Depot Center, on February 1 (5:00 Eastern/2:00 Pacific, broadcast nationally on ESPN2). Since European leagues are in mid-season, Klinsmann only took one non-MLS player, Mix Diskerud, and 25 MLS players who are in the off-season for the workout. In my humble opinion, very few of these players are going to make the World Cup squad, with the exception of the three starting defenders in camp (Matt Besler, Omar Gonzalez, and Brad Evans), and Landon Donovan, Graham Zusi, and Eddie Johnson. Early reports from camp suggest that Benny Feilhaber, born in Rio de Janeiro, has been a hit at press conferences with the Brazilian press.
