Jurgen Klinsmann has made it known that he wants to play an attractive, possession-based style, and he is not afraid to turn over every rock to make it happen. That was highlighted today when Jordan Morris, currently playing at Stanford University, was given his first cap when he replaced Timothy Chandler in the 76′.
