What a disappointing end. The US was the better team than Nigeria too, that was apparent especially considering we played 10 against 11 most of the game and we had a forward/midfielder(Rogers) playing left back most of the game.
McBride was next to useless in this tournament. He couldn't hold up play he didn't win too many headers and as my complaint of him has been in the past he can't create on his own and is then completely ineffective without quality crosses being sent in to him. Nowak should have seen how this team was built nobody on the team, with the possible exception of Holden, can put in a decent cross consistently.
Kljestan has all the promise in the world but he can't maintain possesion and poorly times his passes more often than not. I would have much rather seen Feilhaber play in his position with McCarty playing out wide to start the match. Yes Kljestan scored 2 goals but one was a PK and the other was a result of a great pass from Adu. I like Sacha but he has a lot of work to do.
Maurice Edu had a great tournament. Holden was solid (especially his service on free kicks). Wynne displayed his awesome pace but he needs to work on his touch, shots and crosses...I think he'll get there very soon.
