Can you understand that?

You are trying to make some abstract point, whereas I am talking about the actual U.S. game, which I suspect you did not even watch. While I think “sucked” is too strong a term, I think the ENTIRE defense of the U.S. was suspect, Matt Turner excepted. We were disorganized, didn’t keep our shape, did not close down the attacker with the ball, and there always seemed to be at least one Netherlands player wide open in the box. On the third goal, the Netherlands player who scored was standing on the back side of the six yard box, literally with his hand up, completely unmarked for what seemed like forever. I actually yelled, “Is someone going to cover the guy with his hand up?” We made it too easy for them, and not just on defense.
