  1. He COULD have been closed down better and the keeper COULD have done better, but sometimes you have to tip your cap.

    Well, there goes the wings creating chances. Paredes should've had 2 assists.

    On the goal we see a little bit of Busio's weakness. It's not so much that he is not quick but he is slow to react. Still, he is much improved.

    Man. So close. Two posts now.

    Tolkin should have done better. Aaronson's was better than first looked.

    What do you think of his service to Aaronson and Tolkin? They've fouled him 5 times already b.t.w.

    As the saying goes in Spanish: "gallo viejo con el ala mata." An old fighting cock will kill the rival with its wing. Basically, in the least expected way. Alex was, "yup, that's how it's done kids."

    Our old guys are the two defenders. Theirs, their two attackers. Badé and Mihailovic are too young to qualify for the old man name.

    Regardless of the score line we have looked like the better team. We're in their half and getting shots in.

    Yeah, overall, the US have had the better/more clear cut goal scoring opportunities but the Soccer Gods just aren’t with them (so far).

    At this point we deserve a result. Someone needs to step up and do something special.

    Soccer at this level is so... disorganized. Reminds me of the EFL Championship. A game played by the inexperienced, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.

    I can't fault the player's reaction to the goal against. They've increased their intensity and really showing fearlessness.

    Having that elite player who can make the big play is so important in the sport.
