Well one thing for sure, we aren't playing to score goals. No one pushes forward to play offense. It's your typical US team. Leaving 2 guys to play offense and they lose the ball just to play defense again

I was hoping when Klinsmann got the job we would begin to evolve to more of a team playing to win, instead of seemingly playing not to lose...until our backs are entirely against the wall.

I suppose Azteca isn't the place to go balls out attacking, particularly when a draw keeps us up on them in the standings, but I don't expect to see a different approach next match, either.

It's like Wisconsin basketball on grass. There is a certain trolling quality to these tactics that I don't mind in this setting.

Are we playing for a draw, with the outside possibility of a counter somewhere down the line?
