US Keeps Things Interesting For 80 Minutes; Puts In A Good Showing

The US lost 4-2 to the Samba Boys yesterday in a friendly game which was billed as the "Clash of Champions," or at least I think that was the overstatement they used to promote the game........but anyway, my hat goes off to the Nats who put in a valiant performance and actually played some good futbol throughout the game. You could really see that Deuce's fine form of play recently in the EPL has transitioned nicely over to the international stage, and you just have to feel bad for Onyewu who continues to shoot himself in the foot regarding his starting position. Personally I think Onyewu's starting position in central defense isn't set in stone just because hes an 80 foot herculean man-beast compared to the other players. Honestly I don't believe anybody on the back line has a safe spot except for Cherundolo who played well again yesterday. What do you think about the Nats performance yesterday? Is it a good sign for the future?
