Message: [QUOTE="meyers7, post: 3210468, member: 343"] USA played much better than I thought they would/could. Yea, they still weren't very good, just better than I thought they'd be. Team/attack is sooo much better with Altidore in there. But yes, he should have buried that chance. Hopefully we can see how Sargent does in that role in the future. Bradley had a poor game. Morris not much better (would rather have seen Boyd again). McKennie was so-so. Pulisic, best player out there, decent game. I thought Cannon looked pretty good. Long saved USA numerous times. Maybe Long and Brooks in the future. Surprisingly Steffen didn't have a lot to do. Really needs to work on distribution if he's gonna play in this system though. Ream was ok at what he does. Would really be nice to have LB that could do more than defend though. Luckily Arriola is very industrious. Doesn't have a lot of final product, but will work his @ss off. Decent 1st half. Should have had a goal or 2. Might have even been able to pull off the upset. But Martino half-time adjustments and that was the game. GB had no answer. But you knew that. We couldn't beat Caracao's pressure, we sure weren't gonna be able to beat Mexico's pressure. Overall, USA much better than I thought they'd be this tourney. Didn't expect them to get to the final and sure didn't expect them to be able to play with Mexico for much of the game. [/QUOTE]
