As today marks team USA’s first game in the 2014 World Cup, I thought it was appropriate to post a couple of recent portraits I shot of the U.S. National Team head coach, and German soccer legend, Jürgen Klinsmann for German football magazine 11Freunde. For the shoot Klinsmann met us and the writer in Newport Beach, not far from his home, and we drove down to the Crystal Cove State Park in Laguna Beach for a joint interview and photo session. Unfortunately for me, the interview was conducted entirely in German, so I didn’t understand a word of it! As for the game today, it looks to be a high stakes match for both Ghana and the U.S. as both need a solid win to earn their 3 points and have any chance of advancing. Bad news is that the U.S. has lost in the previous two encounters between the two teams and Ghana are the slight favorites this time around as well. Good news is that we have a new coach and I’ve read that one of Ghana’s star players isn’t at his best. I’ll definitely be tuning in to see what happens.
