Klinsmann pleased to hand Stoke winger Shea USA action

USA coach Jurgen Klinsmann was pleased with Stoke City winger Brek Shea's performance in their draw with Scotland.

Klinsmann reckons the 23-year-old had the bit between his teeth when he was called on as a substitute just after the hour mark at Hampden.

He said: "We wanted to play out of the back with urgency, with speed. We played out of the back, but not with urgency.

"We mentioned that at half-time and the players who came on were hungry, they wanted to prove a point.

"I think Brek brought a lot of energy to the field and did well. He can surprise people, he can create something out of nothing and we are glad to have him back."
