REF -50… I didn’t see anything to constitute a card on Orozoco and the ref continually made calls against the US that were questionable until the game was in hand for Nigeria

Orozco -25 If he did deserve a red card then he made the biggest mistake of his career and I wouldn’t mind never seeing him in a US jersey again, he ended all hopes of advancing before the game started

Parky 8 one mistake led to the Nigerian’s first goal and it was very uncharacteristic other than that he played like a champion

Wynne 9 my only complaint is the quality of his services in the offensive third

Edu 9 what more could we have asked for out of a converted midfielder playing in a defense that was down a man the entire game?

Rogers 8 made a few defensive mistakes but he should not have been in the position to make them in the first place…If he can work on his services into the box he will be in Europe playing for the big boys someday, this kid has talent

Szetela 8 coming on to replace a suspended player and doing all he could with only 9 team mates he did well

Kljestan 10 he left it on the field. I’m surprised he had the strength to knock the ball all the way to the goal on his PK let alone score

Holden 10 just like Sacha he left it all out there, I wish McBride had been subbed in the end instead of Holden

Guzan 10 did all he could made some amazing plays at the end to keep the US in it and try to get the attack going

Altidore 6 did not play well at all lost balls he shouldn’t have did not play with the heart others showed…very dissapointing

McBride 7 did nothing this entire tournament, we would have been better without him on the field every game played no real role. Today though he did the best his old legs could to try and do something with nothing.

Subs

Feilhaber 9 one time I questioned his play and then he made a mistake asking for a yellow and recieved one himself, otherwise played the best he could

McCarty 8 did what he could, might have made a few better decisions on a few occasions

Davies 10 sure he was on the field a short time but his play deserves a score and I found no fault in it he almost got the team back in this game on a few occasions but the luck was merely not with us…some power simply did not want the US to advance in this tournament

This is the most deserving team in this group to advance. They out played Nigeria down a man and almost got a result, they out played the Dutch from the 20th minute on and except for a questionable call in the end would have won and they beat Japan in their first game. They left it all out on the field and were the best team in the group anyone that says otherwise did not watch each of their games. I’m excited for when this group is all in their prime performing for the senior team the future looks bright.
