Altidore is improving. The rest of team isn't up to his level and as such had to bunker down and defend. The breddah who started on the right wing not ready for international ball.

I think you are talking about Timmy Chandler. Both he and Danny Williams play in Germany. It was another german based player #15 Fabian Johnson who caused the goal. Draw your conclusion: ...

But i agree; I would not have started either in a game of this magnitude.

I am guessing that Michael Bradley has his midfield position assured why he was not in this game. Bradley is a must in my book.

I hope that the game against Slovenia in 3 days---will remove SOME of the bitter taste of (several defeats )...that Jurgen Klinnsman has been feeding us.

a three years now Altidore a "improve" a time for him to step inna the big man role and stop improve now.

Highlights

[Me]

I am talking about Williams. He is still a prentice at Hoffenheim.

Timothy Chandler will eventually cement his place in the team. He and Lichaj add very good depth to that position.

The centerbacks are still on the weak side. Good that Gooch is regaining form. Goodson will not cut it was out of CONCACAF

[Me]

He will continue to improve. He was a bench player for the last few years and now he has is starting and performing consistently in Holland and you could see it in the game against France. He was superior to his teammates and the French defenders could not stop him when they were one on one.

[Me]

What are you talking about?

[Assasin]

hope so because the US is dying for a center forward.

[Me]

The center forwards were dying from a shortage of support against France.

[Assasin]

yeah but it has been a while, maybe since Brian Mcbride since the US has had a decent one.

[HL]

Howard is a World Class Keeper!!

Sometimes I feel that Brad Friedel should come out of retirement to save the US...but Howard world class....

a three years now Altidore a "improve" a time for him to step inna the big man role and stop improve now.

Continuous improvement is the name of the game Sass. When you stop improving, then it is time to give it up.

[Assasin]

alright but mi still a wait fi see it on the field. There is a fine line between been talent and delivering.
