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.
readOn paper, this should be no issue, but for how accurate that is, see the Haiti game, a 1-0 squeaker for the USA. Yes Martinique is a far weaker team, the US is expected to give some players more time including a pair who I do not feel have been given a good enough look in Gianluca Busio of SKC and James Sands of NYCFC, ditto for his club GK, Sean Johnson, is this homerisim, maybe but he has yet to give up a goal in international play. In just under 5 hours this game will begin from the home of SKC, Children's Mercy Park on FS1 from 10 p.m. ET, pre-game beginning half an hour earlier..
readIn 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.
