Just watched the game and this might be the worst performace of the Klinsman era...with that talent we had on the field....this team is regressing and appears to have no identy....we are are darn lucky we are set up for sucess in CONCACAF World Cup qualifying because we would be in trouble if we were not....expect us to drop quite a bit in the next FIFA rankings and there is no defense against it....
Bocanagria let the cat out of the bag at games end and said the team is dead tired as they have been doing two-a-days and it showed especially in the second half....we were LUCKY that the ref got the call wrong on the goal Canada scored and it was ruled to be a (bogus) foul on them (on a CASTILLO give away)....it should have counted and we should have lost....
I've never made any excuses about not liking the hire of Klinsman and except for the win over a weakened Italy side he has shown nothing in his tactics etc to change my mind....I'll say it again...Lowe was the reason Germany had the sucess they did...not Klinsman....and he failed at B. Munich...they were smart enough to cut ties with him early....
Johnson I hope recovers and quick...Castillo is not good enough to play at this level against top notch teams...he struggled against Canada with a few good moments thrown in....why Klinsman keep calling him in is beyond a head scratcher....Lichaj should be on this team.....NOT Castillio....
Grant Wahl@GrantWahl@MLSReserves Don't think he's a threat to unseat FJ, but if Johnson is injured I'd argue Lichaj is a better option than Castillo.
Bradley needs to be moved up from the six hole...he is too good at what he does and too good of a talent to sit back there....his passing & vision caused problems against both Scotland and Brazil....why Klinsman moved him back is a head scratcher and a real puzzler....
Goodson looks like one of the starters at CB...best USA player on the field tonight in my opinion......
Dempsey and Donovan both played poorly....
Jones is a red card waiting to happen.....the guy has no touch on the ball....little vision and is just an enforcer that we can't afford to carry anymore....7 yellow cards in 18 USA appearances...DredBecks needs to play which would allow Bradley to play a more offensive game......
Klinsman in my opinion if he were in England, Spain etc would be on the bonfire seat right now and be lucky to survive....for the folks who were screaming for his hire....you got what you wanted.....but you were warned....he just does not have 'it' to be a head coach....
I could go on but it was a bad night night against a medicore Canada team...in my mind the USA lost this game....thank God a CONCACAF ref actually made a mistake for us......
Oh and Mexico beat Brazil 2-0 and Bob Bradley is 11-1-2 with 13 games without a loss for Egypt....makes you go hhhhmmmm
Notre Dame only had one Rudy but Nebraska gets a new crop of Rudys every season
So are you going to tell us from now until the end of the World Cup, over and over again, just how much you hate Jones, Edu, Castillo, etc?....and how Klinsmann isn't the one who did anything for Germany over and over? Because any good soccer info and opinions you do provide gets overshadowed by the constant turd dropping IN EVERY THREAD about the same thing....all the time....we get it, you've made your point....over and over
Oh and by the way, Jones will be suiting up for the Nats from now until most likely at least the end of this cycle whether you like it or not, so you may as well just get used to it....

You got it...I'm done talking about soccer on here....the forum is all yours....have fun....

As an aside - I'm disappointed to see the Mexico v. Brazil score posted on this thread. I should have known to not check HM at all as I had recorded that match and watched the US match first. I decided to see what the HM experts had to say about the US and intentionally avoided the thread about the Mexico/Brazil game. It's my own fault...still disappointing.
