It was nice to actually see the US dominate possession for once.

Tough break for Jamaica losing Blake, though. I have a feeling he would have gotten to that Altidore goal.

Do not if I am crazy but the U.S. team seemed to be challenging on defense sooner than midfield, something I had not seen in previous games. They were after the ball well into Jamaica’s end of the field. It looked to me as if the U.S. pressure on the ball contributed to many bad passes from Jamaica leading to greater possession time and goal attempts for the U.S. I liked that much better than playing the basketball equivalent of a half court game.
