[BSI NewsBot] USA's Mathis wants to prove that he has nothing to prove

Mathis just appears so sluggish and lazy when he's playing. He's almost become like Marco Etcheverry who jogged around but hit beautiful balls around the field to his teamates. I don't think that style fits in with Bruce's gameplan for the US squad.

I hope he finds his stride with RLS. He is a fun player to watch when he's on his game.

 

I was gonna say that Mathis seems to be a great league-man, meaning he loses something in the jump to international competition (think Steve Ralston in this regard). But Mathis had his national team moment, and scored well for a stretch. Now, there is Eddie GAM Johnson, so who needs Mathis?

 

Cleetus the flow-buster.

Love his skills, wish he put it all together.
