This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

Still concerns from unknowledgeable observer by SixShutouts66

Last two goals, which made scoreline look better, came after Honduras threw everybody forward

All 5 goals were from "fast break" offense and team looked very bad after defense had time to set up. (I realize that's true of most teams). I saw perhaps two threatening moments for us.

We gave up far too many threatening opportunities to teams worse than we were. Better teams will have clinical finishes if we make the WC

First half last night, our spacing looked terrible - nearing the beehive one sees when their kids first play.

On the good side, we're seeing a separation of those with potential (Josh that's you) from those who seem to get things done

I'm wondering if Steffen's lock on GK is slipping away, especially since he seems prone to howlers
