Looking a bit shocked, Jurgen Klinsmann called it a ''bitter moment'' four times in 14 minutes and also a ''bitter pill to swallow'' during his post-match news conference. Outside the room, U.S. Soccer Federation President Sunil Gulati expressed patience. The U.S. is 0-2 in the final round of World Cup qualifying for the first time following a 2-1 home loss to Mexico last week and its ninth straight defeat in a qualifier at Costa Rica.
