re: Brazil 3, USA 2 - FINAL

The US tried some attacks in the second half, but nothing could really come out of it because Davies dribbled into swarms of defenders or made bad passes. With the right forward up top, Bradley's strategy could have worked, but he knows that he lacks that kind of personnel, so I put the failure on him rather than Davies.

The team works at its best when Donovan and sometimes Dempsey dominate position, but they had to stay back more because Feilhaber-Clark is a pretty weak central midfield, especially once Feilhaber gets tired.

Given the team that was out there, I am not sure if they could have done much better, but the important thing to remember is that a better team could have been out there (despite the injuries and the Jones situation).
