USA sinks in the Panama Canal

It should really be no surprise that the the US men's national lost to a talented team that played with a sense of urgency and pace. The US has not addressed several key issues from the 2010 world cup. Where is the attacking creative midfielder? Since Tab Ramos retired the US has not had a creative passer in the midfield and unfortunately no replacement has been identified. The central defense is weak and crossing from wing backs is uninspiring and wildly inaccurate. Bob Bradley is an excellent coach but what is the deal with the slow starts. The first five minutes of each half are so critical and routinely the US take the first 15 minutes to get it going. Don't expect much from this Gold Cup.
