[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Closer game vs what I thought it would be. That last German goal was from nothing.[/quote]

Same here, although, when Germany wanted to attack-and-score, they basically did. Too much dribbling by a US sub and turned over--all Germany wanted to do was force turnovers high up the pitch and hit the US in transition, and they did.[/quote]

Yes at the higher levels soccer is about passing and speed of play. The US is just not there. It reminds me of that quote.

“We must make sure their worst players get the ball the most. You'll get it back in no time.“

The Germans identified a weakness and exploited it. Everyone talks about our players needing to develop but our coaches really need to be “developed”. [/quote]

When we realize youth coaches are important and start putting focus on their education and certification to teach young players properly, we will have better chances on the world stage.

Our physicality is a strong currency only up to a certain point.
When we run into superior decision making and tactical understanding. Done. [/quote]

It is shocking when you spend time in Europe watching practices and games(15-17 year olds). How much faster they play and the constant pressure on the ball. When you come back to the states everything is in slow motion. [/quote]
