 You watch the game last night? We completely dominated the second half. The 4-3-3 they showed was dominant and we deserved to win:

This what I think our First XI should be for the first game. Bradley at the 6 was too good, and Nagbe was amazing last night. The front 3 is the most debatable selections, but Zardes/Zusi are the other options at RW/RM and Bedoya is much better than both. I would rather have Wood on the field in his secondary position than on the bench. You could also put Pulisic aka. The Yung LD out there, but I'd rather he not start against Columbia.

Again, I would love for that to translate to something. I remember a year ago beating Germany in Germany and Netherlands in Netherlands and then get outplayed by Jamaica and Panama when it mattered.  Friendlies are nice, but my focus is always qualifying and major tournaments as barometer for success.
