Subject: Team USA vs. Sverige

I think this was our best match of the season so far. Our offense played extremely well. Sverige tried to pack their defenders into the box, and load up the middle of the field. But our mids did an outstanding job of crossing the ball across the field to get to an open attacker. The defense still needs some work on my part as I don't like giving away that many 1-on-1's with the keeper, even though Bogan stopped them all.

No surprises from the Nederland match, so we're firmly in second place in Group A. We've got a friendly against Slovenija next week before returning against Sverige again. Guys on the squad who haven't played much so far will be in action in next week's friendly.

Yes I liked it also, everybody did their part. The defense got broken through a couple times but Bogan came up big. It was a very good performance on our part.

please don't play manny in a friendly as a defender. Mid ok but not defender.

Thx,
