Klinsmann is clearly doing a first class job getting the team working well as a unit.
How many goals does Dempsey have? He makes a lot of bad passes in good situations. Our inability to generate shots in key moments is very telling.

Just a heads up but the USA team really looked horrible. The goalie is not supposed to make that huge number of spectacular saves. The Belgium team then moved to a prevent defense that allowed us to get a lot more pressure in the closing minutes. Think in terms of American football. The rookie comes off the bench and throws for a 150 yards in a quarter but still loses as the other team was playing back. The game was already over and he is the only one who didn't know it so he looks good.
