After turning some heads in an impressive 3-0 win against Mexico on Wednesday, Goal takes a closer look at the state of the U.S. Under-23 national team.
You will be hard-pressed to find a greater disparity in quality than the one that existed between the first and second half of the U.S. Under-23 national team’s win against Mexico on Wednesday.
In the first half, the Americans look lost, slow, technically deficient and generally overmatched against their Mexican counterparts. Then, after what must have been a stirring halftime speech from head coach Andi Herzog, the U.S. U-23s proceeded to score three unanswered on their way to a 3-0 win.
