Despite losing to Costa Rica and the pitfalls ahead, this team still holds a lot of promise.
They were not particularly indicative of the game, which had the sort of energy a lot of friendly matches do where the team that’s trying harder at any given moment appears to be on top. The Americans held the edge in the first half, but were thwarted over and over by Costa Rica’s all-world goalkeeper Keylor Navas. For much of the second-half, the heavily rotated Costa Rican team outhustled an exhausted U.S. squad, but created little to show for it outside of those two set pieces.
Besides, much of that talent has missed a lot of time. Gio Reyna, the team’s most creative player, has showed exactly what the U.S. was missing during the six months and 10 games he was out during his cameos this window: a change of pace, a killer pass, a level of ball security few American players can match. We have yet to see anything close to what this team looks like at full strength.
