after having a day to cool off... i'm still satisfied with the overall outcome of the tournament despite what transpired yesterday. we learned a few things:
1. Holden needs to be the first winger off the bench over guys like Sacha Klejstan and DaMarcus Beasley in the full squad.
2. Chad Marshall is a viable candidate to provide depth at CB for the full squad.
3. Cooper should be our fourth forward (Altidore, Davies, Ching, Cooper)
4. Quaranta and Beckerman will provide good competition for a WC spot in an already loaded midfield.
5. LB is still our weakspot. Pearce's stock fell... hard.
