yeah I don't think they look good despite being 3-0. Great finishing on the last 2 goals but the midfield needs to be better. Decision making during counters needs to better.

Midfield tackling and hustling has been great.

But yeah, when they get an interception, the outlet has been a little lacking. And the holdup from Dempsey and Wood at times.

If I were going to critique anything

Wow US kicking ass...Ticos the heck?

Anyways seems Ticos playing at a disadvantage? Ref not calling any US fouls it seems.

This team is going through what Brazil went through lol.

also think Yedlin needs to improve a lot with his decision making for everything. Clearances, passes, movement. His pace always bails him out but his game recognition is still poor.

What was the last time you enjoyed US game? I think they are great! I'm actually enjoying watching this unlike US - Ghana game for example...

True, but him being between the sticks would give this defence some confidence. They look lost

Agreed. The US continues to pick up momentum and CRC continues to lose steam in direct proportion. The officiating has been friendly toward the US but I'll take what we can get. This is an international tournament on our turf, so the better the US does the better it is for the sport's popularity here (because we're obsessed with winning).

Our holdup play is always odd when we don't have Jozy. It's just one of those things.

We definitely need to be better when we get an interception, also our finishing could be better. Zardes should have a brace right now and the game should be all wrapped up.

Agreed, but he's still growing. He'll get there soon.

yea that game was horrible. I guess that's what happens when you score in the first minute against a better team in a WC

Yeah. At least he's better going forward now. As in, he can dribble past midfield without having a huge touch, and actually play a 1-2. One on one defending is a bit better, but yea he gets lost on backdoor cuts JR Smith

I'm really not sure why Zardes tried to place that chance, instead of chip it. It was really a chip-only situation.
And for the second chance. Yeah, just put it on target, sheesh

It's always good for the hosts to go far in the competition. Can they do what Chile did 12 months ago?

Unlikely, but they almost upset the odds at the 2009 Confed Cup and should win it.

Yep but he's improved leaps and bounds this year at Sunderland so he's getting there.

just proof that Wood is one of the better finishers in the pool if he is played centrally.

Also yep. Excited to see what he can do in the 1.Bundesliga
