Although it was an early lead with head ball by Vines from Zardes that proved to hold for the next 82', the US was dangerous in the first stages of the game. Zimmerman beat up the goal frame with a few attempts. That assist put Zardes into some rare air as he became the 2nd fastest to achieve 10 assists & 10 goals, his 57 caps was only outdone by US Soccer legend Landon Donovan. He joins soccer royalty, Cobi Jones, Clint Dempsey, Earnie Stewart, USSF Sporting Dir.

In that the team has not been able to close games out, a prime example being their most recent 85' giving up a goal, snatching a tie from the hands of victory. They were not doing their typical pressing and relented on a soft goal, they look the same on the scoreboard. Literally last night when I was asked by an A Lic. Coach by USSF as to how they are doing, I cited the record and the fact that they had had given away a few games.
