20 minutes gone and no score...

 

[Red Reign]

0-0 at half....

Not a great half by the USA....

Very disappointing....

 

[Red Reign]

Bunbury the most disappointing American on the field....reason why he has not been called up to the full team.....and had a very poor year for KC last year...

All in all very poor half by the USA....

 

[Red Reign]

And Canada takes the lead 1-0 in the 58th minute...nothing less than they deserved....

Poor clearance of a corner by Hamid caused that goal...

 

[Red Reign]

USA with just an awful performance...poorly coached in my opinion.....and just a lackluster performance...we should not be losing to a team of Canada's caliber....

Klinsmann needs to take a real serious look at his choice of Porter to coach the U-23 team....just an awful coaching performance...

Canada deserved this one and the USA....ouch....

 

[Red Reign]

USA must beat El Salvador to quailfy for the semi-finals....which would probally see us play Mexico....Canada will win the group with a draw or win over Cuba.....which they more than likely will do....

USA must regroup and FAST....

 

[Red Reign]

Porter coming from college to the international level to coach is a head scratcher and I thought so when Kilnsy hired him....if we don't qualify for London he may be out and Klinsy will have even more questions and pressure on him....ouch....

 

[Red Reign]

This is too good of a team to be losing to the likes of Canada....

 

[Red Reign]

This statement pretty much sums it up:

Porter will need to change things in the game versus El Salvador. Bunbury not starting needs to be one of those things.

Agree, uninspired, unorganized, utterly dreadful. This team looked clueless
