The United States Men’s National Team completed January Camp Saturday afternoon with a 2-0 defeat of Costa Rica in San Jose, California. Gregg Berhalter’s first camp as USMNT head coach was deemed a rousing success with that victory as well as the 3-0 beating of Panama last weekend in Arizona. The win against Costa Rica was one that saw two second half goals after a first 45 minutes that were dull at best on both sides.
Against the Ticos, we saw four players who had performances that were rated much higher than the rest of the team: Nick Lima, Sebastian Lletget, Paul Arriola, and Jonathan Lewis, who each had a match rating of over 7.
