re: God's Country vs. Hoduras Game Thread

I'm happy to get the win..... buuuuuuuuuuuttttttt.....

Anybody but Tim Howard in goal, and Jerry Bengston at forward for Honduras, and we give up 5 or 6 goals.

That's frightening to give up that many opportunities to Honduras' B team.

A few takeaways for me:

- I have NO IDEA what Klinsmann sees in Beckerman and Edu that he doesn't see in Bradley. There was a noticeable difference in ability when Bradley came in.
- Beasley is a least a step faster than anyone else in our player pool, Donovan included. He looked like he was shot out of a cannon on that one run down the sideline. He really didn't seem to be "getting it" tactically, even as much as Shea... but sonovabitch is he fast.
- I enjoyed Dempsey's creativity, but there were a couple times that it looked like he could have made the simple play, got cute and didn't connect. It's a fine line that you have with every creative player.
- For the first time under Klinsmann, I saw actual organization. There was a visible difference in play from the 4-1-4-1 to the 4-2-3-1 at the end.

It's really hard to get a read on the game, given the conditions. I'm glad we won, but I'm a little concerned that we could have EASILY lost by a few goals to the weakest opponent we've faced since the group stage of the Gold Cup.

Let's see what Tuesday brings.
