Bruce Arena knew where the United States went wrong defensively in last week's friendly vs. Venezuela. After only being asked for his general thoughts on the match, he called out the USMNT's performances on restarts: "We were very poor on a couple of set pieces tonight."
Indeed, the one goal the USMNT conceded on Saturday came off a corner kick – they didn't defend the ball well enough when it was first kicked in, and they were even less organized when the ball was lobbed back into the goal area. Fabian Johnson appeared to lose his mark, and John Brooks, who was near the ball, was caught off guard too (video above).
