They’re’ back with an
absolute authority and as always unbeatable on their sacred turf called Mapfre
Stadium, so far here, the Boys of the USMNT has become a force not to be reckon
with.
It happened in
Columbus, Ohio where our Boys from the Stars and Stripes showed off their
mettle and awakened once again a dormant giant.
I mean a raucous and
convincing win over the Chapines of Guatemala, where the Yanks got even and
sent a very clear message that this squad is for real and for Manager Jurgen
Klinsmann that his work is far from over.
With a new lineup and
a 4-3-3 formation, that sent three attacking strikers in Clint Dempsey, Bobby
Wood and Gyasi Zardes, that at the end this formula became the right one.
Very well, in the
defensive back, with substantial moves that proved valuable with Geoff Cameron,
Deandre Yedlin and Edgar Castillo repeating in the lineup and with new starter
in Steve Birnbaum.
These moves prove
fruitful and accurate for the German Boss, who handed the responsibilities to
Aston Villa keeper Brad Guzan who had a field day under his posts, thanks to
his defensive foursome.
This time Galaxy
defender Omar González and Xolos Michael Orozco did not get the call as well,
Manager Klinsmann decided to start De Andre Yedlin in his backfield versus last
week as a winger.
In addition, a great
set of moves that really paid off for the Team USA, with Ethan Finlay, Jozi
Altidore and Christian Pulisic, that these changes became fruitful.
Inspired, hungry was
the American attack with Clint Dempsey opening the scores, followed by Geoff Cameron,
Graham Zusi and Jozi Altidore that contribute for the all-American rout.
The midfield had its
changes with Michael Bradley as the starter again with Kyle Beckerman and
Graham Zusi getting the call and seeing an improvement in this area of the field.
Not only in the
midfield but every corner of the field the Yanks played like there was no
tomorrow and in every play lost they recovered with style and offensively their
aggressiveness and character showed off their winning attitude.
Very well seeing once
again how things are done and with an all-around winning mentality as they did
the whole ninety minutes of this match and putting on a show as well teaching their
Guatemalan counterparts a lesson in pure Red, White and Blue football.
The next compromises
for Team USA are until September with matches pending with Trinidad and Tobago leading
the group and against modest St. Vincent and Grenadines; the USMNT has all the elements
to net its pass.
Seeing itself netting
its pass without any complications into the next competition of the Hexagonal,
where the top three squads’ of CONCACAF qualify for the upcoming World Cup and the
fourth place plays a sort of playoff with a representative of Oceania.
For now Manger
Klinsmann did the ultimate to net a very valuable win with his Boys and now
focus in their September compromises as well be forming the squad that will
compete in the always-contested Hexagonal.
Something that the
Stars and Stripes squad can easily net its pass into the next world cup as well,
although the competition in its Confederation of play seems every time more
disputed point per point, this squad can and will net its pass.
