we might not win this, but damn we are playing well enough to win it

So many missed opportunities in the second half. Still think that handball call in the first half was BS.

Didn't win but looked pretty good. I think that's what Jurgen wanted. Can't ever go in expecting a result against Brazil.

Enjoyable game, glad it got a bit heated - Marcelo has always been ridiculous.

Bradley played great, as did Gomez - overall, it was good to see how we can threaten the goal - missed chances, this is exactly what we needed to see from Jurgen and co.

I love the way Fabian Johnson plays. Marcelo is such a bitch. Brazil is good at soccer. That's about all I have to say about that match.

gotta love what you saw if you are a USA fan. sure, we got our nose broken and bloodied up pretty bad but just went toe to toe with Brazil and created several very good scoring opportunities. these attacking movements being put together are simply beautiful

what an exciting game to watch too, Neymar was nasty. and Marcelo when he set up that 4th goal. my god.

i think Gomez may have stolen Altidore's job. I think Boyd might soon too

i like Jones and Bradley in the center, don't think there is any room for Edu, for me at least.

My mothers Brazilian so I'm a Brazilian fan against everyone, however, I'm also an American at heart.

Good showing by the US. It was 4-1, but the score wasn't indicative of the game, at all.

Neymar is filthy though. I wonder how much money some club will throw to try and entice him.

Score should've been 5-3 Brazil

re: Official USMNT/USWNT Thread

I agree with just about everybody here. The Eagles really had a number of opportunities that were just off and they played really hard against the Brazilians. This makes me more optimistic about our future chances.

And BTW, thanks for the legible numbers USMNT staff.

to add, If the USA plays like this I think they get the WC easily. maybe still not better than Mexico but defiantly ahead of everyone else in CONCACAF.

Yeah. Plus there's 2ish years until the next WC. I'm feeling good about the US team under Jurgen really improving over 2 years. As we've all seen, he can't make complete changes in a short period of time.

re: Official USMNT/USWNT Thread

They should get to the WC... I don't think that should be even a question. The question should be winning the group stages and making some quarter final noise.

re: Official USMNT/USWNT Thread

Was a great atmosphere last night. Tons of Brazil fans in the stadium!!!

Neymar is even more amazing in person.

We had several chances to even the game up, but that's how it goes sometimes.

Was very impressed last night with Gomez and Bradley. Donovan is always solid (I felt we attacked Marcelo a bit too much and should've went to the left more often ... was pretty open the whole game).

When you play Brazil, you don't expect to get a W. We need to work on better passing in the middle of the pitch. We will definitely wreck the next 3 teams we play.

Was well worth the 100 bucks I spent to see Brazil and crew and be 5 feet away from Newymar and Donovan

re: Official USMNT/USWNT Thread

I'm fairly excited for the upcoming WC, but I think the one after that is where we truly see a huge difference. Jurgen will have his mark on the system at that point and the team should be comfy. Even if Jurgen is gone, the revolution of style has begun.

Sure, they got smashed the other night, but I think the way we played, we are definitely on the right track.
