Feilhaber was nice off the bench and Davies and Altidore are looking really strong. Donovan always is consistent to. I'm also a big fan of Bradley and would like to see Freddy Adu play, he looked amazing in the under 20 national games. I think this team is pretty strong and they have a lot of young players that will get better in time. 40491 Post 2009-06-24T18:47:04-04:00 1317401 1219 2009-06-24T18:47:04-04:00 <blockquote><cite>Gods & Monsters said:</cite> USA!!!!!!!!!! Dempsey is by far the best US player in the world right now</blockquote> I have to disagree with this statement. Up until today's game he seemed quite sluggish to me; lazy on defense and not sprinting for every ball. Tonight, however, he came to play. 40491 Post 2009-06-24T18:55:30-04:00 1317501 4931 2009-06-24T18:55:30-04:00 id say your best player is Howard by a very long way 40491 Post 2009-06-24T19:10:49-04:00 1317681 1486 2009-06-24T19:10:49-04:00 <blockquote><cite>rich.a said:</cite> id say your best player is Howard by a very long way</blockquote> A really good performance.

He plays for the team i support, Watford. He's got such a great story of how he made it professionally over here, and it's interesting to see he's started your last 2 games.

That fact that they were up two goals and then let in three goals (or four, if you count the uncounted goal), just makes me angry. But USA's second goal was beautiful. 40491 Post 2009-06-28T16:47:13-04:00 1374901 10311 2009-06-28T16:47:13-04:00 Well that was quite the comeback. Awesome match for the neutral spectator.
