Yeah, I would highly doubt Klinsman would call anybody up just for a couple friendlies.

Well, 18 minutes left to equalize. Not looking good. France looks like a different team in the 2nd half.

I think you can see the Problem for the U.S. is they need to have a Distributor in the midfield. Without Holden and Torres they just lack that certain attacking flair to help create a lot of chances.

What a fun game even though we lost. There was a lot of Americans at the game and it was really fun. My first soccer game. The French people were very nice and didn't have any problems. There were police outside in what looked liked riot gear just in case. It was also really cold lol.


Do you really care where I sent this from?

How well did the US team play today?

Losing 1-0 to France isnt a shame though.

A lot of the usual. Just missing that final play in the final third. The goal came from a bit of a defensive lapse where our defender was outmuscled a bit. But like you said, 0-1 in Paris isn't embarrassing or anything. Howard made an unbelievable save on a free kick, so it could have looked worse.

Until the goal, the US was scrambling a lot to get back on defense. Lloris was starting some breaks with great throws.

Oh and Ribery is fun to watch, but ESPN should never show closeups of him in HD. Yikes.

LOL
Ribery and Tevez are some of the best looking players around. hahaha!

Ya, USA needs a really good striker, cant seem to get a good player though.
Maybe they can offer US citizenship to Neymar. lol

I thought our D was pretty solid. Recovered quite nicely to close out counters.

Just. Need. Offense.

Team's not quick enough to do what Klinsmann wants them to do.
