As to Musah.... I think the hope here is that he's as big a dual/multi-national get as John Brooks and Sergino Dest, who are foundational pieces. (It would seem that Berhalter sees him as an 8, and it seems like we're gonna do a dual 8 4-3-3, and my guess is he'll be contributing there, sooner rather than later... )

Anyway, USA 1-0 over Costa Rica. Other than the score, not great.

Well, better a bad win than "you know we just did everything right and they got 2 shots and they happened to go in"

I haven't paid attention to US soccer lately. Doesn't sound like much has changed.

That explains why I didn't hear the usual slobbering over Michael Bradley while wondering what all the fuss is about.

I apologize to anyone I subjected to Alexi Lalas. I thought it was 9:30. I don’t know when kickoff is but I’ll check back later.

Soo Mexico’s keeper misjudged that one basically punched our guy in the chest and broke his wrist at least.

What kinda shit defense was that after the give away. Fucking mark him up. the defender just let him drive in with little effort for an open shot. while the dude with the shit pass immediately goes for the ball instead of going for another open guy...
