I thought Gonzalez played better than Cameron. Neither were particularly good though. The biggest problem is that Jurgen continues to frick up the midfield.

Agreed.
Jones and D Williams should never play anywhere other than DM. Bradley can play DM or CM. I really hope Klinsmann is relying on Brek Shea to be our wide left winger come Brazil.
We have a ton of talent still not on the pitch: Donovan, Shea, Stubear...

I thought Gonzalez and Chandler were by far our worst players.

At the end of the day, I just don't think we are that good. It's a combination of a lot of things. Poor coaching and terrible tactics for starters. We have good enough talent, but we lack key technical qualities that other teams have. Our players are largely below average on the ball, and our defenders shite the bed when the ball is at their feet. The creativity is slim, and we don't have a single good wide player in our rotation. The potential is there, but I haven't observed much development over the past year or so. There is absolutely no reason for us to have 43% possession against fricking Honduras.

When I watch the USMNT, I just feel like I'm watching a single match on repeat. A couple moments of brilliance, terrible losses of possession, laziness on the ball and a complete lack of heart towards the end. Seriously, did we touch the ball the last 5-10 minutes outside of that late FK and then subsequent CK?
