Two wins, two completely different won matches. Against Turkey the US grabbed a come from behind, 2-1, win against a strong Turkey squad thanks to goals from Jozy Altidore and Clint Dempsey, courtesy of Landon Donovan assists. After a dismal first half in which the US sat back and attempted to absorb loads of pressure, the US changed its tune in the second half with Robbie Findley of all players playing a key role.
Against Australia, the US thoroughly thrashed the Socceroos 3-1, thanks to two goals from Edson Buddle and a late insurance goal from Hurculez Gomez. The US dominated the match and the Aussies generally looked disinterested from start to finish.
All in all it gives the US some confidence heading into the showdown with England on June 12.
