true, he had some good scoring opportunities, just needs to finish. I thought when Beckerman came in the second half as the holding and Bradley moved forward as the attacking mid, the team really started to click
Zardes is kind of growing up a bit with these call ups. But most people don't realize that he's only 2 years younger than Altidore.
Klinsmann said that Beckerman was the most underrated player on the roster in Brazil. Many people here, myself included bashed him for passing the ball backwards, but I was definitely wrong. He's the best #6 we have because he is so defensively sound.
I think Klinsmann AGAIN, got a bad rap from the MLS influenced US media over the past year. When he made comments on MLS it was always in reference to Bradley and Dempsey's moves. But he is smart enough to continue to rely on guys like Beckerman and even bringing Beasley back into the fold.
