Man, US needs to work on possession. Played well in the first half, but they need to work on keeping the ball.
Congrats to both teams, though. Not bad for a first final.
<edit> Tim Howard wins Golden Glove, Dempsey wins Bronze Ball awards.

Too bad the US couldn't have hung on. They were totally dominated in the second half.
Oh well - good show boys.

I think they riled Brazil up, and tried to hang on the 2 goal lead without being aggressive enough. Like it or not, we are still a novelty on the interntional soccer scene...
It's a start, though. A win against Spain and 2 goals on Brazil in the finals is a serious result. Of course we have a long way to go, but it's a step in the right direction.
As much good as Landon does for MLS, he needs to play in Europe.

Landon tried to play in the Bundesliega...Bayern Munchen I beleive, but left because he wasnt getting enough time. They tried sending him to Kaiserslautern, but he vetoed the deal. I dont think he the cojones to play in Europe regularly.
A 2-0 lead after 27 minutes...a lot of game left after that. You have to continue to attack...
And yeah, people are starting to take notice of the US, lets hope the trend continues.

I think MLS has a $10M buy out on him too, and (no offense) he aint worth $10M. He is the future, tough. If our scrubs get a decent showing in the Gold Cup and we get a good draw for Worlds, I think we might make it out of group play this time.
I agree on him. He is one of our best ever, but I am thinking his time is over. I am still hoping out for Freddy Adu to explode on the international scene. It seems like he has been around forever, but he is only 20...
The win against Spain wasn't a fluke, it was proof that if they play to full potential, they have the talent and skill to play at that level. If we get a good group, we shouldn't have too much issue getting out of the group stage.
I think the Gold Cup will be key because our starters are solid, but we need some solid bench players, too.
I don't doubt that they played well against Spain and have great talent and potential. But, when it comes down to it, the World Cup is all that matters. You see similar quality in lots of teams around the globe, but when it comes to world cup time, it's put up or shut up. Will be an interesting WC.
WC success, IMHO, comes down to depth, and a hot keeper. When you look at other countries (Like Brasil and Spain...) and see elite clubs starters riding the bench, at ours and see MLS starters throughout the line up...it just doesnt compare. Howard needs to continue his outstanding play, and they need to keep up the momentum...
And that's why I think the Gold Cup will be key because we will get a chance to see what we have riding pine. As you said, all the major players have at least 18 starters on the squad. At any time, 2 guys could come off the bench and make immediate impact.
Unfortunately my doctor said no more soccer, so the US team will have to find someone else.
Depth & a hot keeper... that's an interesting take... might just be. Looking back though, it doesn't necessarily explain the performances though. WC, anything can happen I guess.
I think I died a little when US went from being up to tanking it in the end. Can't say that they played bad but it looked like they were slowing down towards the end.
