the bad:
i didn't like how we approached this game. i don't know why josh wolff played. in previous years, i think he would have been, and was, an asset in these types of games, but i don't see how his play this year at 1860 would warrant a call-up. at least we, hopefully, have learned that he won't do us much good at this level right now. i would have liked to have seen:
johnson
adu
dmb clark bradley dempsey
but whatever. i wasn't, however, expecting us to possess the ball well. you will almost never see us possess the ball more than our opponents. i was more "concerned" with how we looked going forward. at some point, i was kind of hoping that we'd just start trying to play eddie johnson in over the top.
the good:
rooney and defoe didn't get turned to run at onyewu and bocanegra too often. that would have been a fucking nightmare and a red card waiting to happen.
