    we have scored 25 goals this year in 11 games.
    of course only 13 goals in 9 games...

    I think the most we have ever scored was 41 goals in a year?

    I don't understand the weird sociology discussion that followed my post. One doesn't have to be especially discerning to notice divergences in playing styles of various leagues and national sides. And it would seem overly deterministic to be kind to force some national stereotypes as being the cause of these differences. Especially when more grounded explanations can be found.

    I'm just saying it's no big deal to notice the emphasis on technique throughout the teams in La Liga or that the pace of the EPL can be pretty exhilarating.

    Marsch came out and questioned the team. We play with no identity.

    I felt the same way after the WC cycle last year, but JK I think impressed us all with how well the US turned out. Some mistakes were made of course.

    Perhaps the US identity at this point is to keep forging a new one.

    That's overly diplomatic.

    It's like torn wet newspaper shredded by hand, wadded up and hoyed at the wall to see if sticks.

    If it sticks, get a new paper and start over... if it doesn't stick, get a new paper and start over...

    It's shocking, and I was a klinsmann proponent for quite a while.
