The tribunal deciding whether or not to approve Clint Dempsey’s work permit will be held this Wednesday.

Klinsmann talking with US Soccer.

Wow. According to one of his advisers, Jürgen the German has received offers from both the US and Mexico.
Roland Eitel told Bild am Sonntag newspaper Klinsmann was still unsure what his future held, but this guarantees that if he chooses either the US or Mexico (and let’s be fair, both have their advantages) the losing [...]
