[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Weah and Sargent have to play regularly for their club teams before we name them as our saviors.

As for the tournament itself, it doesn't answer many questions.

Whether you love or hate Berhalter, you came out with something positive.

First half of the game last night was a positive step forward, but they're obviously not in the same class as even the Mexican "B" team, which is what we played.

Mexico's A team used not to be able to win games played in the US.  Now, their B team comes and wins.  In light of this, why should we view the first half of the game against the Mexican B team as a positive step forward?  Especially since Berhalter went all-out to win the Gold Cup by picking a 23 person roster of his current best players -- instead of picking a younger or less experienced squad (like Mexico did for this meaningless tournament) so that he can start identifying and developing the players that may be his best 23 by the next WC?  This was a very short-sighted tournament for Berhalter and the USMNT, and their performance in the tournament was overall disheartening.  I feel like the USMNT has regressed since the disaster against T&T a couple years ago. [/quote]

Alvarez even managed to nutmeg Gregg Berhalter.  When the coach is getting nutmegged by an opposing team's player, you know that he is having a rough day at the office.[/quote]
