Post USA vs. Mexico Match Thoughts

• Steve Cherundolo may have been the biggest difference in the Aug 10 match vs the Gold Cup Final.   The guy can flat-out play.
• Castillo needs a lot of work.   He looked over his head.
• Robbie Rogers is a lot faster than I thought.
• We need guys like Breck Shea, Juan Aguadelo, and Eric Lichaj who are not intimidated by anyone and bust their asses on every ball.  This is what Charlie Davies was known for pre-accident.
• Ochoa made a huge save on Bocanegra's header.   Save of the game.
• The referee may never see another international game.
• Donovan needs to be in an attacking midfield role.  I've never understood why Arena and Bradley would hide him on the wing.
• Taylor Twellman is a better analyst than Lalas.   
• Harkes needs to pick an accent... he bounces from Latin to UK to American.   Distracting.
• The guy from ESPN Deportes should not have been on the booth.   Better served on the panel.
• #5 - Michael Orozco Fiscal - solid player.
• Torres takes too many touches and needs to know where the ball is going next before he gets it.   He will be good.
• Where was Mikkel Diskerud?
• Jermaine Jones doesn't exude the body language that says, "I want to be here".
• Michael Bradley is a solid player... had to be a weird night for him.
