Worst of the match: Dempsey, Altidore, Chandler, Green. Best: Howard, BeckermanAt this point, we have zero chance of scoring more than two goals in Brazil, including own goals. So much worse than '94 but with much more talent.

We had plenty of chances, weird time to gripe about goal scoring. I thought Dempsey and Altidore were fine as was Julian. What were you expecting? Also remember that this was match 3 of the change to the 4-4-2.
falcao is a real bummer

Change in system and a rotating crew in the back 4 means we don't have it exactly dialed in, and we probably won't for a while. Still totally disagree with your assessment of Dempsey, Altidore, and Green. Altidore had his best showing of the year, imo. Same could be said of Dempsey.

Define "a while."I'd guess (could be way off) that we will see a few hiccups in the WC, but overall should be more polished. Looking forward to see what things look like against Nigeria.

Good thing it's soccer though and no one will notice or really care one way or another.

Yeah after that article is the first time I really started questioning Jürgen as the head coach. I get that the USMNT needed a shakeup and all but the language used made my stomach turn a bit. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
