Boca looked decent in the LB spot under Bradley. He was a bit younger and our ok CB situation at the time allowed him to play there. And he was better than Bornstein.

I wonder what kind of game we'll get Tuesday. Guate and the US both advance with a tie, so it could be a yawn fest.

Also, it just occurred to me that the MLS was responsible for both goals and both assists against A&B. Good signs.

Bocanegra probably looks great at US practice playing LB. However, every other national team coach on the planet employs pace on the wings. We (apparently) have evolved past needing pace on the outside.

I can't see how anyone is remotely surprised that a 33 year old CB has trouble keeping up on the outside.
