The US team got the exact result they needed but their way getting there didn't inspire any confidence in the depth of the talent pool. Or of the MLS for that matter, considering how many MLS All-Stars are in this particular unit.

Edit: This will probably never happen again, but I was okay with botching two PKs, only because it didn't really look like we deserved either of them.  Oddly, Nicaragua committed other fouls that didn't get called but the ones that got called in the box were pretty damn soft.  I was fine with not getting rewarded for gaming the ref, in this instance.  And if an MLS team wanted to give Lorente a contract on the basis of just this game I'd be cool with it.
