It was nice to see Buddle put the U.S. up 1-nil in the first three minutes, but how on earth does Findley miss a wide open net? Chances to score international goals, even Friendly tune-up matches before next weekend’s World Cup opener against England are few and far between.
Of course Team U.S.A. needs to come out of this one with a victory to give the team confidence and momentum going into England, but the defense has to come together. What a shame that Australia was allowed to easily take things to 1-1 at the 18 minute mark with a nice corner that should be been stopped. Without some significant improvement on defense, we are not going to make it out of group play.
