Shocking that a midday game in Germany between US and Japan doesn't have a huge crowd in Germany.

Jesus if he's a half inch taller or half inch more vertical, that's 1 nil US.

Sargent and Pefok score that.

Why are they so determined to create a GK controversy. Turner has been the best GK in performances for the NT in the last 2 years. Its not a controversy right now. Turner is the #1

central defenders can't give the ball away like that. keep it simple and keep possession. zimmer should have just conceded a goal there.

that miles injury is killer.. is mackenzie ready? how's miazga been playing? ...brooks might be too slow in recovery, but he doesn't give the ball away like that in possession.

Yeah, or Berhalter could let John Brooks play.. its more than just injury stuff at this point. He just isnt giving him a chance.

Are they piping sound? They keep talking about how quiet it is, but it sounds loud on TV.

Brooks' give up on a couple of goals in qualifying, no thanks.

I'd rather a guy make a mistake trying than make a mistake but not trying.

Finally, a start time I can get behind.
OK, if these guys are going to play like this, then feel free to continue scheduling games at 3 AM CET.

I don't think so. It looks even to me.

Realistically, it should be 2 or 3 goals already and all the chances are from self-inflicted mistakes.

why so sloppy? all 11 should either be in late season (MLS) or early/mid-season form (euros).

Jesus is not only too small, he is lazy and not clinical. Weird selection over Pefok.

Keep in mind that Japan is a damn good team. Very technical on the ball and very organized in offense and defense. I always watch them play during world cups because of this.

Our back line is so unorganized and that isn't helping today.

i don't think Long and Zimmerman have played together as a pair that much, so friendlies like this are critical for them if they are going to be the guys in Qatar, but does anyone know how they've been doing in MLS this year?

I know next to nothing about this Japan team other than that historically they typically put up a good fight to get to the knockout stages of the WC. But this would seem to suggest that this particular 11 is not their best 11.

EDIT: Twitter link isn't working. Removing broken link.
