[quote=Anonymous]It was more how poorly the US played, not so much about Jamaica having some talent. Poor passing, poor trapping, poor game plan. I believe our u20 team would have beaten both those teams the other night. They move the ball quickly, trap and pass well, show creativity, and have several players that can beat people one on one (de la Fuente), shoot accurately from distance (Mendez), beat people one on two (Weah), and finish (Soto). The senior team the other night had none, or at least none that were involved significantly. I can only attribute this to player selection and preparation which all goes back to coaching.

Anyhow, the senior team, in a meaningful competition, needs the four players mentioned above plus Pulisic, Sargent, Adams, and W. McKennie. Still need to figure out keeper and the defense (but Miazga and Yedlin are a start). 4-3-3. Weah, Sargent, Pulisic up front (Soto as a sub). Adam’s, McKennie, De La Fuente in mid (Mendez as a sub). Rest is tbd but try all the options over the next year while keeping a consistent core of the midfield and forwards in these games to create rythym and synergy. Also, Ramos as coach if Berhalter doesn’t win the gold cup or at least get to the finals. Only Costa Rica and Mexico should seriously challenge us in that competition. Even with a B team. [/quote]
