World Cup Qualifying - Costa Rica 3, United States 1


It was an unfortunate evening for US Soccer last night, with our national team going down to a 3-1 defeat at the hands of Costa Rica.

George Murphy of Yanks Abroad writes about some of the concerns for the US team last night, as well as heading into an all-important match against Honduras this weekend in Chicago.

I'm not pressing the panic button quite yet, but Bob Bradley's previously preferred 4-4-2 formation with two holding midfielders who can attack and defend, be ready to roll up their sleeves and get stuck in, and win fifty-fifty challenges would have came in handy this evening after Michael Bradley ran himself to death throughout the entire game as he was alone for most of the game at center midfield.
