Speechless

USA 1 ~ Paraguay 3
The U.S never found their groove, but it could have easily been the reverse scoreline. More of the same inexperience, but its good for them and the MLS. I can't wait to see guys like Feilhaber, Clark, and Donovan in the midfield dominating those socialist sympathizing Europeans.

The the youth of the U.S. look promising, as long as Eddie Johnson starts finishing - but when? He's 23 and has spent a good chunk of time in the mediocrity that is the MLS - when will he bloom. He's big, athletic, and fast with good technique, but I haven't seen a thirst for goals and a win at all cost attitude. That's what the U.S. lacks in general as well: a win at all costs attitude. It's OK to do a little spitting, a little clashing, a little tugging and a lot of shit talking, but the "everyone plays, fairly" attitude of the AYSO turns our boys into little suburban sissies! Send them overseas our Central America, better yet, and let them see how it's done. I'm sorry, but the NCAA Division 1 (go broncos) is not anything comparable to a youth academy. I'm going to start ranting, so I'll stop there. Cheers.
