I feel like if Altidore doesn't get injured no one lays that as a criticism at his feet, but it's a fair criticism because of the radical effect it did have. Even if Altidore hadn't gotten injure it was still a mistake by Klinsmann. We just recognize it because it came to pass. I'm more skeptical about the rest of the list because it feels results oriented.

I tend to agree with the fact that we went too defensive in the WC, but going defensive probably got us out of the Group of Death and gave us a chance against Belgium.
But really I guess saying "2-3 decisions" that turned out okay is more easily described as, "he made several very questionable decisions" but the only result that matters--got out of group, almost beat Belgium--he got, despite those decisions.
