Thoughts I had about last night:
--Zim got forward a lot further than I'm used to seeing, and at least once he left himself in a precarious spot where Haiti could have quickly countered and left him in the dust.
--Other than having a Zardesesque assist, what did he really do that Sargent wouldn't have done? Not bashing either player, more a thought that either the coaches don't know how to use strikers, or maybe Zardes and Sargent, while definitely having different skills, are actually close in usefulness.
--Having Dike and Zardes on together was weird. Full credit to Zardes for giving it a go, but the setup didn't do either one any favors. Not sure why Dike was dribbling in the middle of the field in their own half, and no surprise it didn't work out too well for him.
--When Busio came on, they mounted an attack or two up the middle, and I seem to remember all their attacks when Yueill was in there went up the sides, further reinforcing the thought that he is not good enough at this level. To me, if they don't trust him to direct the MF against a relative minnow like Haiti, which team will they face that they'll trust him against?
--Sad to see Lewis' injury slowed his development. He looked out of his depth.
