Half-Time Eval.

Well I must say I am pleased. Altidore puts us up with a nicely taken shot from the top of the box after Szetela had made a nuisance of himself to break up a play near midfield. Zizzo continues to be dangerous with his long runs down the wing, and Adu has done well to get dangerous, run at players, and play a few decent balls. He definitely needs to find the ball a bit more though. Seitz is a rock as usual. He has such great hands! We do need to be wary of Brazil's outside backs, Amaral and Marcelo. Both our solid players that enjoy getting forward. Zizzo and Rogers need to help out, and when we win the ball we need to be quick in the counter to attack that space the Brazilian defenders just leave. We also need to be much cleaner in possession. I would really like to see Seitz throw the ball out much more rather then punt the ball, and on goalkicks play shorter. Brazil is obviously great in possession, which means we will be running quite a bit making me worry about fatigue. The better we are in possession the less we will have to run. The boys need to come out hard in the opening part of the half. If we can grab another goal the game is over. But if we let Brazil hang around look out. They are dangerous enough to cause us problems. They've caused 1 or 2 so far, which is bound to happen when you play Brazil. I am definitely pleased at the way we've virtually shut out Pato. Jo is the one to worry about at the moment. Ok that's it, check in at the end of the match for my concluding thoughts, and player ratings!
