    Donovan is such a douche for saying that other teams were watching the US performance tonight and saying "oh this isn't the old US, we'll have a chance."

    Bitch, we always look like this.

    Don't hate the lineup tonight. Still not a fan of Zusi. Surprised not to see Dempsey, although I assume he will start the final if we make it.

    I'm sure Fox has some protocol other than start the game late if the baseball game on FS1 goes beyond the allotted time....

    I've not been a fan when he's played more forward. His best play of late has been playing in the middle with Acosta next to him. What I'd prefer honestly

    Eventually he should be pretty free roaming

    I don't think Bradley is consistent enough at creating to play further up the field.

    It seems like 75% of his play is deep wth the CBs and all he does is pass it back to them. If the idea is he is the playmaker I expect a little more control and moving the ball forward.
