Well that wasn’t a terribly impressive evening for the USMNT World Cup squad. Though they largely outplayed an inferior (but spunky) Moroccan side, the U.S. lacked for ideas in the final third of the field and were beaten 1-0 on a counterattack just minutes before the final whistle.
Though it’s pretty weak that the U.S. lost this game, it was good to see this squad out there. I’m pretty excited about what this team can do with its midfield. John O’Brien had some good ideas, Beasley and Landycakes looked like Beasley and Landycakes, and Bobby Convey demostrated that he will get some time in Germany. When Reyna went down, Mastroeni did a perfectly good job in his spot. The defense was mostly composed, though Cherundolo made a bad decision on the goal (dude, you’re the only one back, launch it).
If there’s a position where this team looked deficient, it’s forward. Yikes. These guys just don’t do a great job of threatening the goal (Landycakes doesn’t count). We know what we’re getting with McBride, but past that…I dunno.
Also, this Reyna thing better not be serious. Mastroeni played well, but it’s pretty important that Reyna be fit. Not to get all screechy about it or anything.

Christ our forwards were putrid. BTW I thought Beasley was horrible. He’s lost whatever first touch he had.
In any case, it was pretty evident we need O’Brien on the field and that Gibbs isn’t a wing-back.
Oh and Gooch better be ready for these guys to flop.

Pjdinho was selling me on Convey starting by the middle of the World Cup, and after last night, I wouldn’t be shocked. DMB comes in a little later and tries to shake something up? Or even sits back a little bit?
So does this mean that Landycakes is our second striker? Essentially? Who else is threatening the goal on this team? I think crosses and headers are going to be tricky to score with against the Czechs and Italians; those guys aren’t small.
Also, I think it was very big of me not to mention Josh Wolff and his exquisitely plucked eyebrows in the original post.
And I’m not super nervous. Honest.
