EPL Soccer Junkie

Time for a bit of soccer. Time for a bit of football of the round ball variety. Time for the beautiful game with a British twist. Welcome to USA Today’s EPL Junkie with Martin Rogers and Sophie Nicolaou.

Jurgen Klinsmann for England?

EPL Junkie bonus. Sam Allardyce is out as England manager after only 67 days. The Daily Telepgraph's undercover expose and 10-month investigation finds English football embroiled in one of the biggest scandals in years. And according to reports, there are more big names who could also be mentioned in this ugly story. The big question now turns to who will replace Big Sam. In England, the polls and voting has already started and the man being mentioned once again as a potential successor is Jurgen Klinsmann! Is he the right man for the job? Would England really hire a German coach? Would the USMNT fight to keep him should there be interest? Join the conversation. Get stuck in.
