    Both goals featured George Bello standing still and watching the ball go into the net. Not the way to earn that big Euro contract, lad. The first one also featured Guzan doing the same thing, to be fair, and the second one involved the entire back line at once.

    Bello is young and has all the raw talent to be very good. If I'm a high level European coach, I still grab him now to mold that.

    Most of the rest of the squad. Charlie Brown sigh. As Mach said, lots of individual talent but rarely did it work together. But I do think all the pieces are there for Pineda to make significant improvements next season.

    Does anybody know if we thought to practice on a little toy-size pitch getting ready for this match?

    According to different reporters they spent three days this week using a field specifically painted to mimic Yankee Stadium's dimensions. And they emphasized set pieces, knowing how those can impact matches in this confined space. That's why I was so pissed at how the team switched off at exactly the wrong times.

    Hmm. They had two weeks to prepare for this match. Oh well.

    Did anyone think to pass out the NO-DOZE to the team at the half?
