Rab, it was our centerbacks Onyewu and Demerit, along with Tim Howard, who really saved the day for us defensively. Villa and Torres had a lot of shots and a lot of opportunities in the box, but our players shut them down from getting any clear opportunity. It was one of the best matches I've seen our centerbacks play. In attack for us, Landycakes, Dempsey, Altidore and our fast striker Davies all did very well tonight. Jozy turned Capdevilla for the first goal and Spain's centerbacks couldn't clear the ball for Dempsey to pounce.
Capdevilla and Ramos were pretty bad for Spain, plus they didn't have anybody to get stuck in in midfield. Xavi couldn't get anything going. Villa and Torres were in the right spot at the right time but couldn't get anything cleanly past Howard.
Great performance by our entire team.
