Jurgen Klinsmann: 1

The U.S. men's national team lost to Costa Rica on Tuesday in World Cup qualifying. It was not only a very, very bad loss, but it was a historically bad loss. It also marked the worst start to the final round of World Cup qualifying that the USMNT has ever had. Coach Jurgen Klinsmann has to answer for it.

He opted to use the exact same line-up that lost to Mexico on Friday. That is a move that deserve some scrutiny, because, well the team didn't play all that well against Mexico. He had the USMNT come out in a familiar 4-4-2 in Costa Rica, but it was after the team had apparently been training in a 3-5-2, which turned out to be a disaster. The USMNT looked shaken in Costa Rica, and there are legitimate questions about how their previous struggles against Mexico may have contributed.

Klinsmann shuffled a back line that seemed to been working just fine in Copa America by moving DeAndre Yedlin and Fabian Johnson out of the fullback spots. Should Matt Besler, a center back, really be used as a left back? And should Sacha Kljestan have started on the bench when Jermaine Jones didn't look 100 percent fit?

Worst of all, the players didn't seem particularly motivated. Anyone watching that performance may have to wonder if Klinsmann has lost the locker room. Tuesday may have not been the tactical misfire that Friday was, but it's hard ultimately to separate out.
