First half USMNT V Pan

By Sean McCaffery, October 6, 2017

Although 3-0, more work to do. The US a few times tried to walk the ball into the net, shoot sooner, pull defense up and maybe score, have the GK take one off your foot not good get the shots off. On defense the US looks weak but thus far have lucked out. It is Panama, 4 milllion people NYC has what? 2X that they must do better. Hardly over but now play the game better don't hold the lead build on it, treat this as a game in the WC not a qualifier for it. If happy at the half with this result facing this team big mistake wait a bit sub a few and get a look at those players.
