Someone earlier commented about the tendency of the US to evidence a semi-frantic response when faced with pressure. I agree and feel this is a coaching issue as much as it is a technical/tactical one. Only occasionally was the US able to demonstrate an ability solve pressure with composure and accurate passing. More common was the tendency to resort to the rushed, long clearance out of the back, with many of those landing at the feet of a French midfielder or defender and with that, the French attack could simply be started anew.
I do agree with those who see talent in some of the US roster, but more changes would seem to be in order.
