Disappointing loss today, but a good run for the US overall. Maybe some dynamic forwards will come of age before 2014, but until they do I think this is about as far as we can advance in world cup play. Altidore was non existent today and really showed me very little throughout the tournament. Dempsey is a tough guy and decent player, but just doesn't have the speed or skills on a consistent basis. Gomez is young and will improve with more experience into a 90 minute forward. Findley is like a ghost out there.
