Poll: Does the result against France matter?

Jurgen Klinsmann

Does the US' result against France matter?

Since taking over as head coach of the US men's national team, Jurgen Klinsmann has amassed an unimpressive 1-3-1 record.


Time to panic? Please.


"I don't give a crap about win records," ESPN.com reported the German legend as saying. "If we can play Spain, Holland, Germany, Argentina and Brazil, I would love to play them every week risking that my win record wouldn't look so good, believe me."


With a Friday match against against a world-class French squad looming, it might behoove the Klinsmann to disregard his record.


But the natives are getting restless, and won't ignore losses eternally.


“If [France] sweep the floor with the United States in this game, it’s a huge blow to what [Klinsmann] is trying to build," MLSsoccer.com's Simon Borg said on ExtraTime radio on Thursday. "I don’t care that it’s this early, it’s a huge blow. Results matter.”


So whose side do you take: Klinsmann or Borg?
