They came out with a good game plan so all credit to them, it just really sucks when we have a roster that talented. Now we finally know how Mexico feels when we beat them dos a cero.

e: I like Caleb Porter and I like that he is very much committed to creating a technical, attacking team but some of his decisions were incredibly spotty. With Bunbury instead of Agudelo, we had absolutely nobody to hold up play so our midfielders could get forward. I would have preferred he tried Boyd over him as he isn't a known quantity. Also, do we really have no decent 19-22 yr old centerbacks?

Ha! Cuba scores a stoppage time equalizer to tie Canada, US win means they (probably undeservedly) top the table.

Win and we avoid Mexico in the semis. Lose or draw and we're out. Pretty simple now.

It's SilverLight (bleh) so make sure you have that installed, but I'm watching at that link currently and they're talking. When the TV feed cuts to commercial, the online goes to the Universal logo, though.

e: commercial now

Did he coach or go to IU at some point?

Anyways, this team is terrible. Outside of Diskerud, there isn't much hope for future senior team players. Adu is as worthless as he has ever been, our entire defense is terrible, and everyone else ranges from okay to poor. I am amazed that this is (mostly) the same team that put up 6 on Cuba.

Seriously, I don't get the spread out tactics, because it's not working and it feels like we always have 2 overmatched defenders who don't respond well to the counter. Right now, Brek & Adu are working their butts off, but even the crosses in feel like hopes and prayers. This team sucks.

It's not the end of the world if they don't get to the Olympics.

Second half, Caleb should try two forwards up top. Or something.

Porter should try not playing Okugo, Villafana, and if we have any centerbacks try putting them in instead. Our defense is shambolic.

It is amazing how different this team looks from the Mexico friendly and the Cuba match. It takes a special kind of incompetence to take a decent team and make them consecutively play like poo poo against Canada and El Salvador.

This is idiotic to play Kitchen at center d. He learned defensive midfield all offseason, and primarily played right back all last year. I don't get it. He's bad there.

Literally the only players worth anything have no time to do anything because we've reverted to a terrible version of boot ball. And apparently Teal is warming up, now. Because what we need right now is the guy with cement blocks for feet.

Seriously, gently caress Porter.
