The last time we saw the USMNT they were having a tough go of playing well against Uzbekistan and then bounced back against Oman by hammering the 73rd ranked team in the world 4-0. It was whelming. These matches followed a series of friendlies under interim managers that were at least fun.
For a team whose manager and players now constantly talk about changing how the world perceives American soccer, the trend has been over promising and underdelivering. It is time for the team to start making good on these ambitious proclamations and the games against Germany and Ghana are a perfect chance to see the team do just that.
