Johansson was just cleared to play as well. Hopefully he sees the pitch.

Also, would like to see John Anthony Brooks get in the game. He can still switch to Germany since this isnt a Fifa event...but still. He just turned down the Germany U-21 squad I think.

US getting worked. 2-0. Defending I think we all knew was this teams weakness, and its been very apparent today.

The Altidore goal was a nice little sequence.

Johannsson is exciting, although hasn't seen the ball much. Glad he's on our side.

And Bosnia gets one back. Dzeko is pretty sick too.

Can't wait to watch Jozy in the EPL this year. He has been in beast mode for AZ an now USMNT.

They really need to fix that fucking defense, but that's a good win for the USMNT. They beat a WC caliber team. Bosnia is currently leading their european WC qualifier group.

Fantastic win on the road. Looks like we have a VERY formidable attack when Landon, Clint and Jozy all play together. Then a solid core of mids too choose from, with Bradley being a lock and Jones the typical partner in the middle. A GK who is solid. Really starting to look like the USMNT might be a legit threat in Brazil (not a fluke like 2002...but legit chance to do something similar).

The defense is and has been an issue. But Edin Dzeko is a top striker and there is a reason Bosnia is leading their group with 23 GS and only 3 GA. This was a legit win, even though its a friendly.

I think Bradley is amazing. He really keeps things going in the midfield. Even in the first half down 2-0, he was getting the ball and moving it perfectly, they just couldn't capitalize on it. I don't think he gets enough credit and certainly got overlooked today with Jozy going off.

Appearing in 30/38 matches for a club like Roma says it all for me. Dude epitomizes what the USMNT has always been about, but at the same time, what it is growing into...

I expect Roma to have him starting a lot more games this year. HE proved he belonged last year and is in really good form.
