Canada was pressing the midfielders with double coverage a lot yesterday causing the US to get rid of it, so there was no chance to play keep away with possession. Also, their speed advantage (US) on the wings was so apparent it's no wonder they were launching long balls. It was working. The US D is very suspect. Will be interesting to see how they respond to Japan. 3-2 US on Penalties....
