I may be the only person who thought we looked far better tonight? Yes, I know it was Guadaloupe, but they only lost by 1 to Canada and Panama. We absolutely dominated the match. We did give up two bad opportunities, but that's not nearly as bad against a team waiting to counter attack as we have been. Yes, it wasn't good enough to beat a good side, but we almost never play well against shitty opponents. Dempsey had his worst game finishing I've ever seen. He missed 4 absolute sitters and just missed on 2 great shots. If he makes half of those, we're talking about a good result. If he plays like himself on a normal night, we're talking about how fucking awesome we are, a la Mexico.
Donovan was far better tonight. Bradley/Jones played pretty poorly I thought. Way too many errant easy passes. Jozy was solid. His shooting has always been great, but his confidence has been weak at best. Hopefully this gets him going. Wondo can sit for the rest of the tournament. Bedoya was energetic as a sub. A couple great runs that he barely missed on. Sascha actually played well tonight. I still would rather not see him. Spector should always be on before him if we're talking CM. The defense was solid apart from Goodson getting beat on a couple over the top balls. I still think he's a big part of the future back line. Disappointed Bradley didn't go with subs earlier. But that's what happens when you need a result to advance. Bring on Jamaica. Are we definitely the early match?
