    I think US just got a little complacent and I expect them to score again within 10 minutes of the restart. We shall see.

    man of the half is without a doubt Mikey. Also very impressed with Ream.

    Jones had some sloppy moments but has settled down.

    Jozy and Juan look solid after a slow start.

    Goodson is a bit shaky in his delivery, but not bad at all.

    Dolo and Boca are solid.

    I'd say Dempsey is probably the weak link of the first half. Not very involved (not all his fault), and his passes just don't have a lot behind them.

    Canada really sucks, no wonder why they can't qualify for the WC. US needs to play better we should be winning 3-0 by now.

    Dempsey was kind of out of it.

    1-0 vs. Canada is not very impressive. that's just one defender falling down or one ref deciding to give a penalty away from a draw. Need some more goals in the 2nd half.

    "really? not in the top 25? "

    Honestly, I wouldn't. Top 40? Ok. But I just don't think he's that strong of a goalie. I'd start Friedel & keller over him.

    Happy to be up at the half, but we need to put this game away.

    Agudelo plays defense. That's good to see.

    J. Jones' long range passing has been excellent.

    Pretty good half.

    Bradley looks great.

    Agudelo and Altidore have both had their moments, but both are a tad too indecisive off the ball. One specific situation where Dempsey was coming towards the 18, and Jozy just kind of stayed there rather than making a run to either receive the ball or leave some space for Clint to move into.

    Donovan has been pretty invisible, and had 1-2 weird decisions early when i thought he should have just run with the ball. I'm guessing he ain't feeling 100%.

    Dolo had a handful of slightly off moments. Both in attack and defense.

    Ream has looked good in distribution.

    Dempsey seems frustrated by his lack of connection with the strikers, and I can't say I blame him. Seem to have been a few occasions where he and the nearest striker couldn't figure out what the other wanted to do.

    Good first half but we lack the ability to do anything in the final third. Altidore's goal was luck but it went in and now we are winning. We have to continue to push Canada because when we started sitting back for the last 10 minutes, Canada started to find their game.

    Got home from work only to see the last five mins of the first. Looks like Canada has no respect. Doesn't look like an exciting one, am I right?
