WC: USA 0-3 Czech Republic, Additional Thoughts

This was a very, very discouraging start for the U.S. Not just for the fact that they lost to a more skillful and better organized team. More worrisome was their lack of energy and ideas. Reyna calls it out when he describes the U.S. team as "hesitant". As much of an icon as he is, you have to throw some of the blame at Bruce. Arena's game plan was soundly defeated along with the U.S. team. For a team that thrives on crosses, the U.S. flank play was pathetically inadequate. Time for a rethink and some reorganization, before the now, must-win matchup against Italy. There is still a chance to salvage some pride at this World Cup for the U.S. but they must play with more conviction and intensity. Look for Eddie Johnson and Dempsey to get more minutes.
