What surprised me is how awful Besler played. He's played so well for the US team this year. That midfield & back 4 look so fundamentally bad. Without hyperbole, they honestly looked like a high school team.
The defense was especially bad. They kept running backwards with their backs to the offensive players & their necks turned around which allowed the offensive player not only to settle but set for a cross/pass or try to score. They should've met the ball & stopped the player dead in his tracks. It was shocking to see on that level of football.
I think the Mexico game could be a trap game to be honest. If El Tri have any sense of pride, they should come out playing like an angry nest of hornets.
