You can make up to 6 roster changes between the group and knockout stages.

Rowe played well at times. He was pretty awful on their goal, but so were a fair amount of our guys.

Dax was maybe the most disappointing to me. Acosta was underwhelming, but he's 21. Dax just looked out of it and slow (physically and mentally).

In other words, Dax looked like Dax.

We really should have lost this game.

He was never mentally slow.

The Dax we saw today is the reason he hasn't been called up a ton of times. His limitations are too obvious.

Collectively, this squad is totally uninspiring. I understand the idea of using a tournament to find guys to hopefully solidify word cup roster, but Jesus, play younger guys. We know zusi, McCarty, besler etc. aren't going to do shite ever.

I want pretty much a new XI. Why not? We're playing a non FIFA team

Was a bit behind the live broadcast. Anyway Rowe looked good again and created several chances. Dwyer took his chance that he got well. That's it for the guys who looked good.

The bad: Besler sucked. Zusi is not an answer for depth at RB and we need to stop wasting time there. Dax is basically useless. He's a less athletic Beckerman.

Everyone else was just blah.

Flat 4-4--2

Guzan
Lichaj-Hedges-Gonzalez-Villafana
Arriola-Roldan-Acosta-Rowe
Dwyer-Agudelo

It's a shame Saief went down, would've liked to see more of him, especially when we had a blackhole in Bedoya out wide today.

Pretty much everyone had a bad game today, so I'm not holding this one against Villafana who has had more good games than bad for the US... And besides, the LB alternative on this roster is Justin Morrow.

Still surprised that Bruce called him up over Garza.
