Lowerstate -
Sorry I've offended you.
The US already plays in nice 60 yd. crosses and runs like hell. What they can't manage is a through ball.
Arena himself set the expectations.
Playing in front of 30+thousand every four years isn't going to cut it. It would be intimidating. I agree, Conrad played very well. I just can't help but wonder.
Just some thoughts - I'm not out in my yard burning the flag or expecting everyone to agree. Being held responsible is part of coaching. I think Bruce can take it.
