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.
Klinsi was good at building a program, I give him credit for that. But he was a terrible game manager. Arena is much better at getting the most out of his players.
