The relatively young U.S. national team endured its latest painful lesson in high-level international soccer despite a promising attacking spell
The start of the second half of the U.S. national team's friendly against Colombia on Thursday went about as well as American fans could have hoped.
Michael Bradley circled his teammates and gave them an impassioned speech on the field before the half began, and his teammates responded by taking it to the Colombians for the most inspired 10 minutes of soccer we have seen from the USMNT in over a year.
Unfortunately for the Americans, and their fans, Colombia responded by turning on the class and teaching the USMNT the latest in a string of painful lessons for the young U.
