The review is coming after the re watch. Which is taking forever to download, so look for it tonight. In the meantime. Enjoy the memories of Jermaine Jones making his first appearance. He looked solid in my opinion.
Quick Notes
*Glad to see Jozy and Gooch net. They are probably two players who need the confidence the most.
*That being said, it's clear to see the rust from both Jozy Altidore and Oguchi Onyewu not playing at top clubs. If Jozy can just grab a bit more time at second place Villarreal, his touch and finishing will get better. If Onyewu can grab some minutes here and there at fourth place AC Milan, then the rust will go away quickly. Reps, reps, reps. That's the name of the game
*The defense looked shaky. Probably due to an early knock to Steve Cherundolo, a rusty Onyewu, and Maurice Edu playing out of position. Carlos Bocanegra was forced to compensate for Edu, who was caught up field a bit on a couple of occasions. But credit Bob Bradley for finding a way to get his best 11 all on the field at once.
*Michael Bradley and Benny Feilhaber were just off in this one. Everyone is allowed a poor performance here and there. I'm just glad it's here and not in next summers Gold Cup.
*We'll get into the tactics tonight, but the lack of width killed the game for the US, where as Poland countered by going wide and dumping balls into the box.
Stay tuned.....
