Well, not awful so far, but the pace of play has definitely settled in Italy's favor these last 5-10 minutes. No attack recently.

Jozy isnt having the best game, but you can see how much better he is with Klinsman in charge. Knowing when (and how) to hold the ball up, take players on, and make runs going forward. Its nice to see. We havent had a true target man to start an attack since (kind of) Brian McBride.

Nice free kick from Dempsey. Too bad it didn't find its way in.

Nice strength from Williams there to hold off the defender.

How is Williams playing? I don't know a thing about him. I remember he played not too long ago and I was wondering who he was.

I just noticed they took out Shea for Kljestan. How in the hell does he still get time w/ the mens first team? He is TERRIBLE.

He's playing alright. Though, I personally believe he holds onto the ball way too long.

Shea wasn't having that great of a game, but I definitely agree about Sacha. Last time I saw him, I wanted to puke all over my TV. Just bad.

It's crazy that he plays in a euro league. He must do alright for his club, but I've never been even the slightest bit impressed with his play.
