How often do you get a month to practice together in International soccer? You have to be better than this.




lol. I'm sorry but these players just aren't good. They SHOULD be better, but aren't. We have a good few pieces on this team mixed with just players that need to be refined.

Take Gatt for instance. Talented kid but needs work. Agudelo is talented but needs to be refined. Brad Davis/Brad Evans/GAM/Beckerdreads should've done better than that. Bedoya playing time is drastically reduced.

I've always complained that the US has a leadership problem as well. I don't know if this squad had a strong leader, as well.

OK first of all these are all MLS players playing a friendly in the middle of their off season. I don't care that they had 3 weeks of training... Training is NOT the same as playing an actual game.

This match was the equivalent of an MLS pre season match. To try to look further than this is pure folly.

MLS seems to be purposely stalling his development.

Because he sucks.

No, those two are past-it journeymen who need to stay away from the USMNT.
