I think that the US's passing is really letting them down. I thought the defence looked SOLID mostly, however I felt that the midfield broke down and went back to parking the bus way too quickly. Good on bradley for his finishes. It was pointed out in maybe the 60th minuteish that having people playing against the best teams and players in the world they're going to be better. Beasley is an example, plays for Rangers plays day in day out. *side note* does anyone find it odd that the officials for these games are always latino?

red card? yes no question led with the studs up against the keeper no looking for the ball.

tims yellow. The official awarded it to him after he ran towards the ball then stopped and backed up, restarted. yellow. solid call.

The defensive clears where horrific, resulted in tim howard getting spiked.

the general, toothlessness of the US to not take advantage of 11 v 10 tells the tale.
