Still think Nagbe's was better than Hassli's. Hassli's had more luck involved.

Jozy looks lively. French can't contain him physically. We need to get him better service. Thought he drew a penalty for sure earlier. Oh well, home cooking for the Frogs.

Edu- I want to like him. Why can't he play for US like he does for Rangers!?!
Get Adu more PT. Goodson- go away!
Klinsman, is he the man for the job?

I don't have anything to offer other than agree with these questions/statements.

Also, Timmy Chandler is clearly part of the future at RB, but he did absolutely nothing at LB. Shea had to track back way too much today to be of any use in the attack.

I don't get why Edu and Jermaine Jones are both on the roster, and play.
They're the same player. Identical.
Also, Beckerman is too similiar. There's only a need for one of these 3.

I know they were missing Donovan, but man... Is Clint Dempsey(and I'll admit, Altidore today), the only players that WANT the ball?
Well, Shea does too, but he didn't have anybody giving him much...

We have like 9 (9!) central mids with equal talent but slightly different skills who are essentially the same player. It sucks. Torres, Kljestan, Williams, Jones, Bradley, Edu, Mixx, Beckerman, Johnson. You could make an argument to put Feilhaber on that list too. Ridiculous. Holden is our only true central mid who distinguishes himself and he's a gimp.

Yeah, just watched the match. Pretty lame. Just not much to get excited about with this team right now.

3-1 USA up at half. Instant alalysis: Fab Johnson = legit. Michael Bradley = a starter, duh. 4-4-2, inferior opponent, working wonders for the attack.

Oh yeah.
Johnson's worth a look. Chandler's looked bad lately.
Bradley, not sure why he hasn't been playing before he today. He's clearly the US best CM.
I like the 2 attackers as well. You can't argue after today. However, I'd like to see Adu be one of the starters up there.

Frankentim (Chandlerstein?) just isn't a left back and Steve Cherundolo is still our best option at RB. Square peg, round hole and that's not the answer long-term. We've gotta find a left back.
