Cameron starting at right back at Foxboro stadium (near his hometown). Looks like he will have Douglas Costa coming at him from the left side of Brazil's attack. Brazil should win this easily. Both teams have brought most of their "A" team players to this friendly.

I am excited to see if we can even get close to our 2nd ever win against the Brazilians...but not counting on it.

On second look, it looks more like a Brazil B team and a USA A- team.

I think Orozco is pretty good, just too short and doesn't have the athleticism to make up for his lack of height. Alvarado is just hopeless.
Jozy's nutmeg of David Luiz was great, too bad yedlin couldn't make the simplest of passes to capitalize on it.

He's gone past costa a few times now with ease. USA still struggling to find the final ball, or striking it right at the keeper when they do. Not as one-sided as I thought it'd be, although they trail 0-1

The US are playing wrong setup for Brazil.

Would have preferred to see Geoff and Danny Williams to start in Central Midfield to be honest. Surprised at how little Bradley has done..

US need to 3-5-2. no CF movement. Take bradley off, Put Geoff in there and add Williams then Yedlin out wide. Simple.

I think Bradley is a good central midfielder, but a poor attacking midfielder. Problem is the U.S. Doesn't have a good attacking midfielder right now other than Clint Dempsey who will be ancient by the time the next World Cup rolls around. Diskerud is about the only other player that comes close to being a fit in that role but he's just not good enough IMO.
Jermaine jones and Bradley should be the two in front of the back four, with Geoff or beckerman in there if they can't go.

Cameron has looked decent in possession, bad on defense, and now has caused us to go down 0-2.

Neymar makes it 0-2 after Geoff gives up a peno. A soft one,as Netmar made a meal of it, but stupid from Geoff.

The US just put in their first attacking midfielder, first shot on tgt in the half 30 secs later... coincidence? lol

looks like USA is going to lose 0-4, and Geoff will play the full 90. Neymar made Geoff and Yedlin look pretty foolish there for Brazil's fourth.

Cameron replaced by johnathan Spector in the 73rd. Announcers on Unimas calling Geoff out for looking lost against Neymar. I wonder if the resident yank at Birmingham City can do any better?

I don't really blame klinsmann for this. I mean he picked a strong team from the players available, I mean I don't really agree with Ventura Alvarado, but he's been a lock for some reason since just before the gold cup, and it's the same formation as the Peru game. Brazil is just way better, and in the second half they've been counter attacking every time we try to bring numbers forward.
Spector just put one on a platter for Diskerud who hit it straight to the keeper.

Weakest CB's available... mental selection to be honest. |

I agree with the weak centre backs, and that Bradley isn't an attacking player, but we don't really have a decent attacking midfielder. |

Yeah that's why it made no sense to have one as a true CAM vs Brazil... Nobody can say that made sense... lol Let's stick bradley at CF even though we don't have one available lol Left massive holes behind him. That's the 4th game I've seen recently where Klinnsman or whomever selects the formation and puts players in really puzzling... puzzling areas... He's as infuriating as Woy and I'm not even a USMNT fan except for Geoff. |
