Decent response.
These guys have to be teenagers, right? Seems like they have quite a bit of speed, but have fallen asleep defensively too many times, and the ball handling is suspect (at best). Small things like not gathering passes softly. Just sloppy.

So the US needs to beat Nicaragua by 3 goals to finish at the top of the group and avoid Costa Rica in the quarterfinals. The match is on FXX in 30 minutes.
Miazga getting a start in this one. Dwyer back up top.

Bradley and Howard in attendance at the match. So it would appear that Bruce is going to make use of his opportunity to change those 6 roster spots heading into the knockout round.
I thought I read that Altidore was a lock to be added as well. Those were the only three known but all 6 roster changes were expected to be made.
Rumors are that Arena will use all 6 roster changes with Bradley, Howard, Altidore, Nagbe, Dempsey, and Jesse Gonzalez being the additions.
Agreed. I'd much rather see Miazga in there again and see if he's ready to join the top 23.
I am pleased to see Lichaj getting another look at RB. I'm not a fan of Zusi as our backup in that position. Lichaj has been solid in England for a while now. I'm glad Bruce is giving him a look with this lineup since it's much closer to our A team.
It sure looked like Zardes was onside on that disallowed goal. Dempsey's touch on that play was awesome and quintessential Deuce.
Nagbe's dribbling skills are just absurd. You can't get the ball off him. He skates by defenders with ease and if he can't do that he's so good at just turning away from the pressure and either continuing his dribble or moving the ball to the open man.
