Never met an offensive opportunity he couldn‘t ruin by going backwards. That was later. He was good as a young player. I think USA lacks an offensive identity. We aren’t able to play the game like the Dutch, English or Germans do, we lack the big targets and crisp passing and organization. We don’t have the creativity Brazil has, or Spain or France. Teams packed the middle, letting us get wide, knowing our crossing game is awful. We have a roster to attack up the middle, but can’t make the quick intuitive one touch passes very often. I suppose we could try a Japan or Italy style counter game, we have some speed. But unless you have a legendary defense like Italy used to, I feel like it’s tough to go far with that. Felt like we has no cohesive approach on offense. We did all of those things at times, with no plan. [/QUOTE]
