You mean its helps if the team moves off the ball? I would never have known watching today's game!
About the best thing we did was execute the offside trap -- at least until the 75th minute. That's not what you'd hope your best aspect of the game would be.
Having watched virtually all of the games so far, either the Czechs are by far the best team in the Tournament or we are by far the worst -- or both. Bad game.
We looked like a team with players that mostly come from second-tier teams instead of a team with lots of players that play in the Champions League. How could we be so outclassed when our players come from Real Madrid, Barcelona, Chelsea, Arsenal, Man U, Bayern Munich, Juventus, AC Milan, and Liverpool?
What American players come from those teams?
It could be another last place finish for the US, like 1998 if things don't improve quickly. We won't even beat Ghana.

Yer problem is they don't. Now I'm a Fulham fan and I like Brian McBride but even I'll admit Fulham aren't in that class.
