The should have put Yedlin in sooner and subbed Bradley out. Bradley didn't make a decent play in the entire game for the second time. It is also very frustrating to see Dempsey left alone up front... It just isn't his strength.

Since the game didn't count, other than accepting a loss, I suppose it was smart to sit back and play defensively for the whole game. By keeping their points down we stand to gain position. One of those situations where it isn't about the battle, it is about the war. I sincerely like Klinsmann... That just didn't seem like the same team that just played Portugal (with the exception of Bradley) and in my opinion, we could have won.
