Like a lot of US fans, I am coming down after an engrossing couple of days in Columbus. Here are some random things that come to mind from the game:
-I was excited by our quick, one-touch passing for large stretches of the game. It was a little worrisome, though, that it wasn't coming from some of our younger players, such as Jozy and Rico, although you could argue they weren't given much time to do anything.
-Heath Pearce did the job defensively but was very wasteful with the ball.
-This was the largest U.S. supporters section ever to witness a home game.
-It would be hard to find someone I dislike more than Rafa Marquez.
-It would be hard to find anyone I love more than Frankie Hejduk or Michael Bradley.
-It was a wonderful feeling walking out winners 2-0, but I will likely first think of the march from the bar into the ensuing hail monsoon first when I think back on this game.
-Had a chance to say hi to a few of the players at the hotel after the game. We support a bunch of descent, friendly guys.
-Much props to US Soccer, who treated us very well through the ticketing process.
I'm gonna hit the sack feeling very fulfilled. Many thanks to everyone who contributed to such a glorious night.
