Underwhelming squad and lineup selection by Berhalter, but he didn't play. Disgraceful lack of effort by the team as a whole.
Hopefully, however, we learned something about selection from the game. Players who have been doing well having a bad game you have to live with in the absence of half our starters due to injury and travel restrictions and rotations, but I never need to see any of Bello, Ariola or Zardes in a US uniform again. Period. There were options at each position to bring to the squad who we left out. And Yedline is a better player than Shaq Moore, although Moore played well enough this summer that I won't throw him into the same garbage bin as the first three.
But that was more about lack of effort than that we didn't have a team capable of getting a result on the field. Greg played to get two home wins this cycle and hope he could pick up a draw on the road while resting people. Beat Costa Rica at home and it just failed. If we don't get the three points with the rest we gave starters, then it's time to talk.
