Experts? Hold up buddy...Us experts are the one's buying all the merchandise and tickets to go watch you play. If you play like crap, you're gonna hear it. Do you think US soccer fans are happy to know they will be spending thousands of dollars to go watch the US play in South Africa and expect to see a team with no fight like against Brazil? Forget it. Play like a team if you want to get respect. I'll take 1-0 loss to Germany like in WC 2002 over a 8-0 win over some CONCACAF team that has resort hotels with bigger monthly budgets than an annual budget for its soccer federation.
