    Well, yes, the USMNT IS in decline.
    Panama has coach Bob and our team figured out.
    Good close defense. Poor defense from us.
    We have absolutely no panache on offense.
    Total crap from everyone.
    Watch for Altidore and Jones coming out, they have yellow cards.
    The US must preserve their "great" CONCACAF team vs Guadeloupe.
    What a disappointment.
    Ream? Goodson? Responsible for the goals.
    Those long range shots are hopeful but don't make up for the fact that we cannot work the ball into the box.
    Pathetic. Disgraceful.
    And we were so hopeful for a turnaround?
    I predicted we would crash in the Gold Cup.
    We are there. No excuses.

    Time to start over. This current core of players is simply mediocre. We need a youth movement.

    Who is on the subs bench? FSC doesn't seem to cover that for these matches.

    We have never really been into coach Bob. Have we?
    Bradley Sr., are you there? Time to wake up finally!

    Well, at least we have some dynamic players of the bench who can change the match. Like Wondo, Kljestan, and Bedoya. Wait, no we don't.

    If Bob stays on, we will struggle to make it to Brazil. Maybe even if he doesn't. We are tactically predictable. Not terribly physical, nor athletic. Not very technically gifted.

    Ream's inexperience cost us. The lack of development of attacking players in midfield has is hurting us. Agudelo doesn't deserve to be starting, though he is talented, and our forward pool is very thin, as is the wide midfield pool after Deuce and LD.

    If it weren't for Dempsey we'd be totally lifeless. Agudelo and Altidore size is neutralized by the Panama back line. We need someone smaller with ball skills to run at them. The ball needs to be kept on the ground against a team like this.

    Lets give our defenders a rating of "8" or "9"!!!! We had similiar problems vs Canada, Canada just suck in scoring more than us.

    Basically, you either move the ball around or you move player around.

    We basically only can play one style -- speed to stretch other's defense, then someone run into the space.

    But when we face someone who can run as fast as we can--too bad, most of Carribean teams like that. So we look lost.

    Then those teams have fitness problem, so they will fade after 60 minutes, then that is the time we start to win races and score goals. That is how we beat them before.

    You have a team of players who can play in Europe, but they cannot play together. So who is at fault?

    It'd take a loss to Guadalupe, too. Sunil doesn't change that easily.

    He doesn't make change that easily? This is not the first poor performance by the Bradley-ites.
