Agreed.  And Freese just pulled a Matt Turner and Ethan Horvath and put himself firmly on the map with a PK shootout for the ages.  I don’t think we allow CR’s second goal if Poch had subbed 5 minutes earlier.  Our guys were gassed.  It’s the type of coaching move we used to hammer Berhalter over.  Gotta react faster when the momentum has clearly shifted to the opponent.

I think we still would have beaten this Canada team regardless, and playing them would have been a better measuring stick.  Let’s take care of business with Guatemala and get some revenge on Mexico.

Gotta say that I am really liking Tillman, Agyemang, Richards and Berhalter.  They should be locks for the next window.  Adams is coming along really well from his injury as well.  McGlynn is another kid that has some solid skill.  His time is coming.  And Diego Luna…the kid has stones and never stops.  Love his work ethic and his fight. He deserves a shot for the final WC roster but may lose out because of depth.

I love the fight this team shows.  Puts the March iteration of the team to shame.  Canada got Concacaf’ed by Honduras, just like we did in the Copa America last summer vs Panama.  This US Team is giving every bit they get back to the opponent, and that’s refreshing.  Malik Tillman took a beating and kept coming at CR.  That’s the fight we need in the final third.  The trio of Tillman, Agyemang and Downs are formidable because of their size and physicality.  Just wish Agyemang had elite speed.
