Ohmigod. That was easily the worst display of U.S. soccer since the 1998 World Cup. Simply dreadful from (almost) start to finish. Donovon scores in the first 40 seconds of the game, with a nicely taken boomer of a shot after a lucky bounce. But after that...nothing. Our backline seems INCREDIBLY slow. If Howard wasn't on his game it could be 3 or 4 to 1.
Quick half time ratings:
Howard 6
Bocanegra 3
Onyewu 5
Conrad 4
Cerundolo 4
Donovon 7
Dempsy 4
Beasley 2
Feilhaber 4
Johnson 3
Ching 3
Beasley has been an unmitigated disaster so far. You can see his teammates lose complete confidence in him. The US would finally get some nice movement through midfield via Donovon, a pass would be sent out towards Beasley, and nothing would ever happen. Towards the end of the half they had simply stopped sending balls his way.
This could get ugly later.
