This game was just pathetic. The US was completely unprepared and looked like they don't even belong anywhere near the World Cup. How in the world can a supposedly world class team look so uninterested in a game like this. Pathetic.
The jury is out on whether we actually are a world class team.
We got crushed in 1990. We squeaked through the first round in 1994 thanks in part to an own goal by a since-murdered Colombian, we were wiped out in 1998, and we surprised the Portugese with three goals in ten minutes in 2002 and then, outside of two goals against Mexico, our offense disappeared.
We have to get a result against the Italians.
