USA's Wynne Man of the Match in My Eyes

I'm sure lots of people are stoked that Sacha netted his first, second, and third goals for the national team. Sacha played a great game from starting whistle to the final. But he was not the star of the first half in my eyes. Yeah he scored an absurdly amazing free kick, and later buried a PK. But who earned that PK, who was EVERYWHERE defensively in the first half, who was streaking down the right wing with unhumanlike speed. That would be Marvell Wynne. His first half performance vs Sweden last night was inspiring. The man does not have the greatest technique, but damn does he play with heart, and that's the one thing on the pitch that separated him from everyone. The second half was a different story though, Sacha continued this amazing play and overall he was the best player on the pitch during the second half. But I'm going to have to split the Man of the Match honors and give it to both of them.

Overall great win for the US, it was nice to see the youngins in action
