Just my opinion but this was about the worst soccer I have seen in a long time!

Ugh... NOBODY stepped up! That was tough to watch.
I kept waiting for something, or anything, to happen. Beckerman was OK in the middle but didn't do anything to justify more time when the full squad is assembled. At first I liked Gatt as he tried to break free a couple times (I liked his aggressiveness) but he avoids his left foot and shouldn't be playing from that side of the field. The defense was solid but not really tested much to prove anything.

Totally agree. I couldn't wait for it to end.
I see NO improvement as of yet. Hopefully, they'll look at the Mexico game tonight and take a few pointers.

Always good to see some different faces in the mix, but I agree, that was BRUTAL!

Turned it off at the 55th minute. Couldn't watch it anymore.

I had to apologize to my two DDs for strongly suggesting they watch through the final whistle. It's one of those parenting moments I wish I could take back. Actually it was 90 moments I will never have again. Fie!

Do you think this style of play represents the MLS boring, dull, slow, lacking creativity? Most of the US players selected for last nights game were rostered MLS players!

It seems the coach (and players) had no plan, or if they did they couldnt execute the plan, to unlock a team determined to park the bus and rely on DeRo for their only attacking option. I dont think it reflects MLS style, necessarily.
Just basic attacking principles to break down a compact D: move the ball, change the pace, up the tempo, switch sides, one touch, combination passes, etc. Heck, our DDs know this dont they?
