I'm very proud of my team tonight, even despite the loss. But I can't handle losing games in such a fashion, no matter what team we are. You cannot give the game away when you are 2 goals up on the opposition, but yet we still gave it away by my number one pet peeve: sitting back and not keeping possession. Such a tactic can never work against a team such as Brazil no matter who you are, but we tried it and things worked out for the first 45 minutes then turned sour. Even if I don't like this sort of way of playing, we have to do it. There's no choice for us. But we have to learn how to hold the ball and keep possession for our tactical display to work to perfection.
The problem for us is still the midfield where we don't have the talent to control matches. This will probably be our biggest problem until the end of time, the central midfield. We truly miss Claudio Reyna as I knew we would, as he had the ability to control a game. We're still missing him and will probably always miss a world class central all-arounder who can make sure we keep the ball.
Bah, I don't know. Whatever.
Good job boys, I'm proud.
