[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is not just the score line, it's the quality of play.  We had no cohesion and only had 38% possession (ESPN number) and only 2 shots on goal.  Our two opportunistic goals make the result look more respectable, but we did not look like we belonged on the same field. [/quote]

Our two goals weren't opportunistic...they both came from very nice build up play. [/quote]

You are mistaken.  The first goal came from a long cross with our midfielder having to sprint extra hard just to get to it.   The second one came from a direct two-pass counter (Green to Weah to Wood) with a through ball to Wood who was sandwiched between two defenders.  Both goals came from "low probability of success" plays.  [/quote]

I don't see anyone complaining about Colombia's "low probability of success" plays...James' crazy shot on the first goal, the scissor kick, and the gift from Robinson's misplays. 
I'm sure if the teams were reversed, you'd be complaining that the US didn't have anyone that could make a pinpoint pass like Weah, or someone with the filed vision to make the long cross to start off the other goal.

I don’t see how your diatribe makes our 2 goals be considered “very nice buildup play”[/quote]
