I was able to watch the second half yesterday and was appalled by the U.S. overall performance. The entire second half, they looked discombobulated and unorganized. Klinsmann struggled directing one of the top national teams in the world in Germany, how can we expect him to do better with less here in the U.S.

I personally liked Bob Bradley and his no-nonsense approach to managing the U.S. side. He was very professional and evidently prepared his teams far better than what I've seen of Klinsmann thus far.

Time will of course ultimately tell, but everything from the player selection, to the formation, to the substitution patterns seem to be in question for the current team.

CONCACAF (Round 1)
3, Honduras
1, Costa Rica
1, Jamaica
1, Mexico
1, Panama
0, United States

The reality is, it's one game out of 10, in a tough place to play, vs. an underrated team, on their national holiday. I would have taken a draw and SPRINTED out of that place.

That said, we didn't provide an inexperienced pairing like Cameron and Gonzalez with sufficient: 1) Direction from the GK; 2. Support and cover from the FBs; 3) Cover from the MF. Result: 2 goals against.

It will get better.
