World Cup 2010

Replay would be nice. Another Ref(or 2) on the field would be better.
Best of all, would be USA strikers that SCORE GOALS!!!!!!!!

How does the USA play 7 WC games w/o a striker scoring? Start Findley, who has never scored for the US? Start Altidore(I know, the best option) who scored 2 goals all year in the Premiership?

The US needs goal scorers in the worst way. I'm looking at you Giusseppi Rossi...

Once you commit to a country you can't change (AFAIK). But yeah, sure would be nice to have a finisher like him. Maybe Adu will mature and grow into a better player.

Hard to blame Rossi too much - play for the US or play for a team (Italy) that had a quadrennial shot at winning it all. It sucks for him this year, but he'll be a starter in 2014.

I understand why blame would fall harder on the forwards here, but the inability to finish went beyond just them. Findley looked pretty bad in all the games. Altidore, I thought, looked pretty good, but just couldn't punch it in (which was quite frustrating).

Strikers jobs is to score. In that regard they failed. Sure Altidore did some good things. Findely sucked the whole time. Would have liked to see Gomez start. Anyway you slice it, they didn't do their jobs.
