Is there a certain strategy to playing "longball" soccer, or is it just a necessity to advance the ball down field when you're out of gas?



Sometimes. When the U.S. does it, it's normally Bob Ball, or the act of kicking it as far as you can and hoping one of our guys gets it on a break. It rarely works.

Late night tonight, and I know I am catching this late, but I'll add my two cents, and I am sure these views have already been posted but here goes. Starting Clark was a bad choice, we all know it. No good first touches at all in the game, from anyone. Altidore looked tired and gave barely any effort for most of the game, I like him but he was not good today. Howard can not get beat near post on that first goal, that was some bad defense all around. IMO, this was the worst game they played all tournament. Sucks too because folks seemed to be getting interested around the country and it seemed like a favorable draw to advance further.
