I think it's more nuanced than that... in the past we've won games by sucking up pressure and opportunistically getting goals on the counter. Super fast players like Landon Donovan and RunDMB were perfect for that style. This World Cup we actually played soccer and held our own, or more, against European teams.

I get it... only the scoreboard counts, but we have advanced significantly from previous versions of our team. While our game has gotten orders of magnitude better, what we are missing, ironically, is someone like Landon or Beasely who can use pure athleticism to score goals out of nothing or someone like Mathis or Dempsey who have the technical ability to finish the chances the team is creating, or even a big center forward like McBride or Jozy. Put a few of those guys on this team and we could be still playing.

So you can be one of those people who only looks at the score board or you can be one of those people who can actually see the quality on the field and realize that we are a striker away from being a huge problem for any team in the world.
