USMNT Blows Second Half Lead vs. Denmark in Friendly

Just some dudes warmin up...
The USMNT blew another 2nd half lead midweek vs. Denmark in an international friendly, conceding all three goals to the firebrand Danish striker Nikolas Bendtner. The U.S. has now been outscored 11-1 in second half play since this summer's World Cup and soccer pundits and fans are starting to fret (cause that's what they do) that the USMNT has lost its defensive cohesion and overall direction and, basically, that Klinsmann is mucking everything up. As the Men In Blazers are prone to say: "Don't read too much into international friendlies." But everybody always does; that's all we have to go on right now.

On the Bright Side...Jozy Altidore continues to perform after coming back stateside to the MLS and shaking off his EPL funk; he assisted on an Aron Johansson goal and scored one of his own, giving him four in the past six games.

Next Game: USMNT v. Switzerland on March 31st at 12:00 PM
