I was also frustrated with Klinsmann's lack of substitutions -- clearly the set-up wasn't working and a new tactic was needed. But he didn't do anything... it was really strange. I know Toni is supposed to be BM's marquee draw, but he's in a slump and it's time to change it up. Toni/Poldi doesn't work -- Klinsi needs to man up and try Klose/Poldi.
I'm surprised about Van Bommel's benching; I suppose that hints at some behind the scenes drama. Demichelis gets upset if he's played out of position too long -- I wouldn't expect to see him in DM much longer. Besides, Breno made some mistakes that could've been costly in Saturday's match, but perhaps he was better in other aspects than I noticed...
One note: It's Demichelis, not DiMichelis. Tambien en espanol, se llama "Demichelis." :)
