The Cameron experiment isn't working. And Zusi is killing me. Just killing me. Can't hold possession, win possession, or complete anything. Bedoya remains absent. We need someone who can hold the ball and make something happen.

I think that I might consider pulling Bedoya and putting in Johanson or Wondo or something. We can score against this club with some better play. And I also think that we can hold them defensively, if we play perfectly. This game is winnable, but we've got to get more attack. Most likely, they're going to find a goal. Might as well assume that and find a way to get a ball in the net.


BTW, if you're not going to use Wondo or Aron or Diskerud in a situation like this, then Donovan should have been on the roster.

Belgium is 1/18 on crosses. It's working. That's a huge art of their game.

It's working defensively. But, ball control in the center has been non-existent.

We are wasting ball after ball. Not winning any contested balls. No passing at all.

This is miserable soccer.

I wish they did more replays. I still haven't seen that save Issac Bruce made from behind the Tim Howard in the first half.

You might be onto something


Eta: you might consider they're playing the game they need to play to give themselves a chance.
