Question for all the talent and skill gurus...

After watching the U.S. dismantle our brothers from Nigeria (African Champs) do you still think talent is more important than coaching?

These guys have been coached well and you can see it in their style of play. This is not the USA team of old. I predict they will beat either Germany or Portugal. Contrary to the what the naysayers are saying...I see them with a realistic chance of making it out of the group.

Now as for my beloved Black Stars...how much have we improved since our last friendly? And are we paying attention to the little details needed to win our first match (and the rest of our games) so that we can ultimately advance in our group?

We shall soon find out...

This guy gets it. But he's getting assaulted.

This TOTALLY deserves its own thread. No joke. Someone please make it.

Our in-game tactics and field awareness will be key. I grant that Klinsmann has remade the US team into a confident cohesive unit going into the Ghana game. At a minimum I want the US especially the defensive unit, back on their heels thinking about going up against Asamoah Gyan circa 2014 scoring goals, or Dede running someone down, or KPB showing the German-Americans that he's blazed a trail they are following - they cannot be as free and as confident on the ball as my Nigerian cousins made them feel yesterday.
