No doubt, the African influence has turned France into a powwerhouse at all levels.

Diaby is the real deal.

We still don't have that first touch and 1-2 combos that the best countries in the world can do in their sleep but we do have a few players on this team with those abilities and I thought we were really good on the counter...

Both their centerbacks made crucial errors on the first two goals and, as was pointed out above, their goalie made the error on the 3rd goal.  It was a helluva pass by Weah and a helluva touch by Soto on that second goal.  Not sure who gave the through ball to Soto on the first goal but it was also a great pass that was perfectly weighted...

Defensively, I actually thought we were pretty solid.  We did a pretty good job tracking runners.  Our biggest issues occurred when we pressed and they would find either Diaby or their #6 between our lines and they would turn and run at us...that was discomforting...Diaby has some serious pace...
