Nigeria, Azerbaijan, and Turkey...

6 months ago would you have predicted beating all three? I honestly saw a win and two draws. I can't be more excited for the US going into this world cup. I think we make some noise.

Yes, but I predict wins in every USMNT game.

To be fair, we were playing three home games and one of the teams sucked.

Yeah, but we knew that when the friendlies were scheduled.

Meh I thought Turkey would be our one challenge and they just struggled with their finishing
Not to be too negative cause we really haven't looked bad at all, my problem though is that we still don't know our best XI

Yes
but we were not convincing in any of the wins. This last game esp, Nigeria kept the ball for long stretches.

You sound like Xavi

In all fairness, that was consistent in the last two matches. We are not a ball control type offense. We seem to be more aggressive, quick-strike offensive spurts, followed by sound defense.
I'm an admitted newb to soccer, but watching the USMNT reminds me a lot of Atletico when they played Real Madrid, except we're much more talented and aggressive on offense.

Yes, because all three should be beaten by a team of the caliber of the US.

The difference this time is our play is very calculated. Possession means nothing unless you do something with it. We will frustrate teams and then attack them just like last nights game.

Lets hope that our final touches and passing is better than last night. I don't mind playing counter attacking soccer, but we got to start finishing and passing better at the end.

Not surprised. Only times we've really played poorly in the past 18 months were road qualifying trips to Honduras, Costa Rica and the friendly against Ukraine with only our Europe based players. Bradley only played in the Honduras match.
I mean we played like shite against AZ, but they parked the bus and are horrible.
