Pretty poor for the most part and not fun to watch. I disagree that the subs kept the team from jelling! These guys play together alot and subbing in one guy for another will not (UN-GEL) the team, they are after all professionals. The injury could have been the only argument about jelling. The "warm ups" as they have been called are very important, don't kid yourself! These guys are fighting for any opening. Trust me when i say these guys are not happy with just being on the team, they want to start and play full time.
Convey was all over the field and looked good with high energy. I also thought Cherundolo played fairly well as did the whole D. However, we looked weak in mid-field and Beasley seemed to not be himself. I also thought Landon played like Landycakes, I hope he steps it up! Claudio going out seemed to hurt our organization and possession in the middle third but I thought Pablo filled in nicely and made no glaring mistakes. I and surely any US soccer fan expected more......touches were messy and we did not do a good job of getting the ball to the forwards. For me it was a dissapointing performance. Morroco was probably the strongest team we play before the real test. It better get not just better but a world better before June or I will be watching my second favorite team play through the worlds best tournament!!
