Ok, so I watched the game last night....what does this mean? You know how when we play great teams like Germany or Brazil and we keep 11 guys behind the ball, get really physical and generally do everything we can to disrupt their possession? That's what every team in CONCACAF does to us except Mexico. Pretty much every team comes out of the tunnel looking to get a 0-0 draw when they play us or Mexico. CONCACAF games, even when one team is way, way better than the other, are always difficult. Physical, fast, chaotic and sloppy in possession/passing and often come down to set pieces or waiting until one of the team scores before the other team is forced to open up. The officiating usually, some would say always, sucks. The central american teams spend more time flopping than passing and do everything they can to get under the US player's skin. It's usually pretty ugly until one team scores, regardless how much better one team is than the other.
