I was kind of drunk all yesterday, so I didn't come in here and post...

But, the team played well, but gave up waaaay too many shots. 16 saves is great by Howard, but that meant that our defense was just letting Belgium shoot at will.

And what was up with Klinsmann's formation?! 4-3-3? And Cameron in for Beckerman?! WTF, Klinsy?! At least start Yedlin there so it doesn't look so messed up. The good old 4-2-3-1 would have been much better, especially for a team like Belgium - Jones and Beckerman providing defensive help was needed.

Also I shake my head thinking that we played Bedoya the whole tourney when we could have had Donovan, who even at 80% would have created more chances.

Oh, and I'm not a Wondo fan, but that shot was MUCH HARDER than some people in this thread are making out to be. If Wondo shoots at waist level, the goalie saves it, so the thing to do is to try to chip it up, at a run... its not that simple and I think few Americans would have made that goal.
