Klinsmann's selections were suspect. I saw two main problems:

1. Playing players out of position/callups
- The US has no width. Calling on someone like Gatt or Beasley would help this problem significantly, but they aren't getting the callup.
- For the love of all that is holy, quit playing central midfielders on the wing.

2. Gonzalez should not have started. I thought he looked poor (the second goal was probably his fault) and I think Boca's experience would heve really helped. I think if Boca is out there the game finishes 1-1.

Like I said in the other thread. I think Cameron and Gonzalez never playing together, had a hand in this. In the long run, I like the Gonzalez/Cameron pairing. You have to start somewhere. I don't know if World Cup Qualifying is the place to do it. But, nonetheless.

From the USSoccer matchtracker, Gonzalez messed up a lot. From what it sounds.

Even when Klinsmann threw him on against an extremely narrow Canadian team, he played him inverted
