One down, two to go in the USA's preparation for the World Cup, as the USMNT beat Azerbaijan by the score of 2-0. Boy, this was an ugly game. It honestly looked like a team that had done a bunch of fitness training and little soccer playing, as for most of the game the USA looked like a discombobulated mess. The subs completely changed the game, as Brad Davis' left foot on set pieces helped two more subs, Mix Diskerud and Aron Johannsson, score to win the game. On the whole however, Team USA needs to play MUCH better to have any chance in the Group of Death in June. Also, with Clint Dempsey a late scratch with a sore groin, we await word breathlessly hoping his injury is not severe. The USMNT next play Turkey on Sunday, June 1st on ESPN2 with a 2 pm kickoff, EST.
