WTF? No foul on the Agudelo mugging? Count Chocula was right there.

for who? Sasha, or Bedoya?

Geez, our center backs communication with the keeper and defensive midfielder are horrendous.

Donovan in second half should help!


Donovan hasn't done shite the whole tournament. I don't see how subbing him in the second will help out at all. US has played a great half less their finishing.

Leave his arse on the bench.

Not sure to be honest, but I gotta believe well put him in.

I liked the formation, we were ok at times, we just can't seem to finish.

But our defense can be undone pretty quickly.

Outside the obvious missed chance, I'd say the jones has been our best player this half. Dude is wrecking shop all over the field

I agree with this, the only thing he could provide is a presence out wide, something which we currently don't have out left, but it seems we are content having Lichaj push up high and have our left mid play more central. The only thing Donovan could provide is finishing, he could do better than others, but as you said his form this tournament has been very pooor.

I didn't think Bedoya or Klejstan were bad. That said it wouldn't be a bad move to bring him abut 60-65 minutes in if he's fine, not sick or anything.

The formation allowed us to completely dominate possession and have plenty of chances around their box, part of that is having 5 mids and part is Jamaica's formation is not suited for ours. But, somehow even with 2 deep sitting midfielders Jamaica's speed has been able to exploit the holes between our center backs.

I would bring in cakes around the 60 minute mark. Let us work the wings a little bit and when Jamaica starts to over pursue on the outside, put him in to come back in the middle and hopefully take advantage....

The first time they opened our defense up I thought it was Bradley's fault. It was just a sloppy, careless giveaway fairly deep in our half and you can't do that against a team as quick as Jamaica. The second was a little depressing. Just a fairly simple long ball, Boca didn't defend well and there was a gigantic gap at the top of the box.
