France-3 USA-0
Estimate of TOP: France 67% USA 33%


Full Time: France-3 USA-1

Observations: This team has 0 chemistry. No build up whatsoever. They can't string more than 3 passes in a row. There is no communication, when one player has the ball no one makes runs or gives support for the quick pass. Same old problem the midfield can't hold possession and the back line is discombobulated. The first two goals were on quick counter attacks where Cropper blocked the first two attempts and an easy goal was made off the rebound. Our players seem desperate to play long balls to our strikers who get hounded by at least three backs and they're back to chasing the ball around for at least 5 minutes. We get a couple of free kicks and can't even play a decent ball in the box. It's been a rude awakening for these guys in the first 40 minutes, especially Julian Green. He's constantly trying to take guys one on one and gets shut down. Losing possession and taking himself out of position. He has skills and potential , no doubt but hopefully this brings him back down to earth. Lots of work to be done. There's still one more half hopefully they gather their pride and put on a show this second half.


2nd Half: Team played much better. They showed confidence and created some quality chances although only one was finished by Jordan Morris. They have a long way to go but showed potential. The team is also not at full strength. Once again Jordan Morris impresses. Dude is an Engine played all 80 minutes and ET. The game had 40 minute halves. He constantly provided high pressure almost causing a couple errors by France. He consistently beat defenders in the second half scoring the only goal and putting another on target and playing an almost assist that was blocked.
