Re: [nas] US v Cuba [R]

Touche, I agree that we were lucky in that Cuba didn't convert their chances 
but at the same time they were very lucky that we did likewise. I think our 
play in midfield and possession was far better than theirs. Whereas, they 
seemed more dangerous on the counter... that and the way the crowd roared every 
time they did anything somewhat significant gave the impression that they were 
up to much more than they really were at times.

I think Ching held the ball up well on occasion. For me the MotM would have 
been a tie between Gooch and Howard with Dempsey close. I was also pleased with 
Edu's game and DMB despite the horrendous finishing. The worst things I saw 
were the constant giveaways from Hedjuk and another LD disappearing act.

Glass half full, glass half empty, but I see what you're saying, Deb.
