Really like Chris Mueller. A tough kid, fast & can score from Orlando City who will soon be tutored by Jesse Marsch at Salzburg (which got beat yesterday & is in the Europa League tourney) & will only improve. Akinola is interesting. Near Altidore size, has some speed & scored a goal. Young speedy defenders looked good but weren't really tested. There are some youngsters out of MLS that could use more big game experience and will get it in the Gold Cup & Olympics. All in all, just reinforces my excitement about the future of ntl team football.
Now, what I didn't like was our usual talking head Taylor Twellman. This guy asked 2 rhetorical questions & then attempted to answer them. First-who's going to score goals for the MNT? And, 2nd-who's going to show up on the roster for WC qualifying? His answer to both: "I don't know". Huh? What? Then he starts talking about Zardes & Altidore. How clever is that? He did say some nice things about our Euro contingent, but....
One day in the future, and let it be soon, the USMNT will go from being a world-wide laughingstock to being feared as an opponent in whatever tournament they are playing in.
