Unless you are Hank, who makes the brilliant point that it is theoretically possible that one defender was awful, but that the others were so good they were able to prop him up and maintain the shut out. Of course, Hank also admittedly knows little about the game and also thought the U.S. lost that game, so it is theoretically possible that his arguments are built on faulty premises.” Totally my bad.

"Budweiser" and "concentration" don't get used in the same sentence much.

Some people who know well liked his performance against England and thought he was the best US player in the Iran match.

Hank was asking about Weston McKennie, with the rainbow hair, though.
