Good for the USMNT today. I hope they can build on this game so far.

Well I cant find it after a pretty lazy search. But I always thought Jozy was left footed lol. Took the PK with his right, so obviously not.

Good first half. I agree with the analysis during halftime.

Getting back on defense can be talked about, but what's so good is how everybody is pushing forward. 3 goals in 1 half is amazing, especially since we haven't even had a 3 goal game since BEFORE the WC.

Very good half.

Defense has been iffy, but 3 goals in one half without LD is dreamland.

Huge confidence boost if we have a solid second half

My goodness our defense is diving on everything and getting turned. Who taught them how to double team a man with the ball?

Thats a PK. Hand was way up in the air. Wow.

Anyway, great pass by Buddle, great run by Delo and find to Dempsey who also made a great run.

Thats not a foul committed on Chandler? That looked like the ol' reducer. This ref sucks IMO.

I would almost guarantee we can see better than he can through this fog. Not an excuse, but it is. Technology can do wonders to the perceived light/darkness the audience sees.

2nd half has been utterly disappointing.

Don't like going into a "shell" to protect a 2 goal lead in the first place. It's given Slovenia way too may chances and they capitalized on one of them already.

US should have stayed aggressive on the attack.

Well, a win is a win, especially in Europe. Good result, even if the second half was lackadaisical.

Good win. You knew Slovenia was going to go all out in the 2nd half. US was able withstand, and get the W. 3 Goals is fantastic. A win in Europe, great. Nice building block to go off of. Just have to bring this type of result and move forward domestically (games on our soil) and in meaningful competitions (Concacaf games, WC qualifying, etc).

No games on the current schedule(s) that I have found.

I hope they build on the first half attack and definitely right the game's defensive woes.
