Klinsmann kicks off US dream

Jurgen Klinsmann will kick off his tenure as US coach on Wednesday with a friendly against North America's other perennial powerhouse and longtime US archrival, Mexico.

The former German star, a World Cup and European Championship winner as a player, was appointed on July 29 and said in naming his squad his goal was to spark competition for every position on his team.

"There are many players who are established as well as many players who will get opportunities," Klinsmann said.
