Classic Goals: Jürgen Klinsmann vs South Korea (1994)
Today, Jürgen Klinsmann celebrated his 44th birthday somewhere in Russian airspace on his way to a Bayern Munich marketing gig in Japan. Back down on earth, we celebrate his birthday with this great goal he scored during the 1994 World Cup in the USA. It was Germany’s final group game against South Korea and this is the first of three first half goals by Germany. South Korea managed to come back into the match in the second half and the match ended 3-2.
Klinsmann doesn’t have fond memories of this tournament though, as he was disappointed by the poor chemistry and team spirit within the squad. It was a valuable lesson and team spirit and chemistry were key elements for Klinsmann when he guided Germany to the Euro 1996 title as captain on the pitch and to a third place finish in the 2006 World Cup as coach on the sideline.
