The USA - mexico rivalry is already fierce, it's basically the only game in CONCACAF worth watching, and it's about to get an extra layer of heat now that both managerless countries have offered to make Jürgen Klinsmann their national team coach.

I'm not sure if Klinsi speaks Spanish, but it wouldn't surprise me as the man pretty much walks on water these days. So, the big question is which job has more to offer? It's got to be said that Mexico offers a better domestic league to choose from and a slightly better class of player (there's no American equivalent to Rafa Marquez for example). On the other hand, he already lives in the US, would come under slightly less public scrutiny, and will be in charge of what looks like an important period for soccer in America.

Whichever job he chooses (and it could be neither) the other side will be fuming.
