Great test. I wish Dempsey and Jozy were available. Hoping Jordan Morris gets to see some more playing time. 

I'm not upset thought that Robben is not playing. You at the game DF? Go USA right?!?

No and no. 
The Dutch 1-0 up now. USA is playing the counter looks like.

I don't think that's the game plan though. Klinsmann wants to be more attacking then counter. Decent first half. Plenty of good chances on both sides.

It was a nice pass on the equalizer. Any way, seems like the USA needs to work on its aerial defense because that's two goals from headers for Huntelaar. 
It's a good thing we have such good strikers because we suck at defending. 3-2 now.

Like I said; we suck at defending. 3-3.

Good lord.

I'll take it. U.S. Announcers said it all game what you said. The Netherlands could attack, but defending lacks for sure. Due to coaching change ?
4-3 over The Netherlands!! Woooooo! First W all time against

We've sucked at defending for a while now. Van Gaal at least realized the team needed 5 bodies in the back to get some wins. 
Glad to see that the US is actually, you know, scoring goals! Hope that trend continues to get better over the next couple years

There's some young talent that is starting to step up. Jordan Morris is quickly becoming one of my favorites. He's done nothing but make plays so far in his brief national team tenure. Scored against Mexico last time out, and got a late call up for these two European games and got an assist to Bobby in only about 25 minutes of playing time to end the game. 

 

Between Morris, Agudelo, Brooks, Shea, Johannsson, Chandler, Yedlin, Zardes, Diskerud, Green and a couple more which includes the U23 and U20 squads there is a lot of really good talent starting to make their presence known.
