-— Agreed. But if you are going to counter, look dangerous when you do. -—
I think our attack of Dempsey, Bradley and Zusi is very effective, and the best I’ve seen in US World Cup play. Careful buildups and sustained pressure don’t mean as much as results. We have scored three quality goals against three quality teams with many near misses. Having Altidore would have been great. We can play with any team now, except France and Holland.
Zusi has had one real moment in the group stage, supplying the corner against Ghana. Other than that he has been pretty quiet.
Bradley made major possession errors in each of the first two matches including gifting Portugal its equalizer, but at least he remembered what team he plays for today. Dempsey is the only one I can’t fault.
Good news - there is better yet in all three of them. :)
