      Honest question:

      What should he have done differently with the lineup last night?

        Gonzalez over Cameron, Pulisic over Zardes, Feilhaber/Nagbe/Nguyen/practically anyone over Jones. Play an actual 4-4-2. Practice set pieces. Stop playing Bradley as a CAM. You know the same kind of stuff that people have been saying for 3+ years.

          Well maybe, but I look at it differently. If you contrast the quality of play from the team over the last 3 years and specifically if you look at the quality of play comparing the team during the world cup to last night, I think we are definitely better now. Sure, losing isn't so great, but Columbia is a top 3 team for a reason. I'd say in particular the defense is better. It was night and day compared to how we played vs Belgium. ( and I don't think Gonzales is all that good but that's just mho)

            The problem is, was, and will be Klinsmann and his tactical naivety. We have good players but he just plays lineups that make no sense. Why were Zardes and Wood played on the wings when neither of them are wingers? I mean there are players in the pool that can play wing. Why does he insist Michael Bradley play further up the field when it is clearly not his best use? And why do this when we have players available that can play that position?

            As for Gonzalez, he just won a Championship in Mexico with Pachuca as a starter. He's frankly better than Geoff Cameron, who really should be playing right back like at Stoke.

              My take isn't as in depth. The same issues have plagued us for years now. Concede early, have to chase the game. And now i don't see the attacking talent to overcome it.

                Our defense played like crap last night. There were a ton of unforced giveaways and dumb mistakes, not to mention losing the man on the corner which led to the first goal and the handball leading to the second.

                  After 1 game, Group A is

                  COL 1-0-0 3 +2
                  CRC 0-0-1 1 0
                  PAR 0-0-1 1 0
                  USA 0-1-0 0 -2

                  Costa Rica did get a red card in the last couple minutes.

                      Ideally Colombia wins out (as I think they should) and we still control our own destiny.

                          I think you have to remember that Altidore is hurt and the line up most likely would have been a lot different with him in it. Having said that, yes our formation could have been better. Though I didn't think we played all that badly overall, no one really played well either, except maybe Guzan.

                                It's about to hit the fan in Glendale. Mexico was up a goal and a man until they had Guardado sent off and Uruguay scores on the free kick. Stuff has already been thrown. Dis gun be gud.
