Arsenal's Wenger paid us a huge compliment - USA boss Klinsmann

USA manager Juergen Klinsmann was delighted to have Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger in the dressing room on Friday night.

The US team were beaten 1-0 by France in Paris in an international friendly and had the pleasure of having the Gunners tactician - a Frenchman himself - in their inner sanctum.

"We had the pleasure to have Arsene Wenger come into the locker room talking to the players, and he paid them a huge compliment," Klinsmann said.

Loic Remy's 72nd minute goal proved the difference in the end and Klinsmann was happy with the overall performance of his team.

"From a technical perspective, the shape, working, and really finding a rhythm was good," he added.

"We made life very, very difficult for France, and they realized after 30 minutes there is a team that has a go at them. Obviously you want to score a couple of goals sooner or later, so I wish there was one or two."
