Twenty minutes left and the Czech's have this one in hand. Eddie Johnson shows some life with a shot that goes wide.

A flowing move from the USA at last. They move the ball quickly and Convey puts in a cross that Cech gathers. Josh Wolff on but not before Rosicky gets his second and the Czech's third. At least Arsenal fans will be happy. McBride leaves the game - he has received no support whatsoever.

Johnson with another effort - he's playing his way into the starting line-up against Italy.

There as a huge gulf between the Czech Republic and the USA today.

Man of the match - Tomas Rosicky.

Player ratings

Keller – No chance with any of the three goals. 6

Cherundolo (sub 45) –A tactical substitution but the full back rarely got forward in the first half to support the attack. 4

Onyewu – He took an earlier booking and was guilty of a poor clearance that dropped to Rosicky for the second goal. 4

Pope – He did not look to smart on the first goal but it was wicked cross to deal and Koller added a little nudge. Pope adapted well to a back three in the second half. 5

Lewis – For a defender to be caught so badly out of position five minutes into a game is a cardinal sin. Lewis never looked comfortable all game. 2

Beasley – Was he playing? It was a bad day to try out the Harry Potter invisibility cloak. How he stayed on the field, I do not know. 1

Reyna – The captain battled away but his promptings did not receive much support. 6

Mastroeni (sub 45) – He was a victim of the half time situation and found himself sacrificed for a more creative player. 5

Donovan – He flitted in and out of the game. 3

Convey – He did not hide but he did not contribute much either. When he found himself in good wide positions, he failed to deliver quality crosses. 3

McBride (sub 77) – He should be able to sue for lack of support. Big Brian was isolated all game although his first touch was poor. 4

Substitutes;

Johnson (on 46) – When he came on he added a drive to the US game that had not existed previously. He has surely played his way onto the starting line-up against Italy on Saturday. 6

O’Brien (on 46) – He looked badly short of match practice and never made a telling contribution. 3

Wolff (on 77) – Not rated.

Bruce Arena rolls the dice. If O'Brien and Johnson for Mastroeni and Cherundolo doesn't work then this one could turn ugly. Three at back could back fire but the game is lost at the moment anyway.

The Czech's are going to be quite happy to hold the ball and to wait for a chance. Poor marking from USA on a free kick and it could have so easily been 3.

The US has a tempo to their game unfortunately it is a slow tempo. They are never going to break down the Czech defense playing at this pace.

An hour gone and there is nothing to indicate the USA can comeback in this one. The Czech's are very comfortable. Every third USA pass is a chip - it is a complete waste of possession.

In the space of one minute we see the difference. Convey has a chance that he chips into the box only to have it intercepted. Nedved in a similar position, finds Lokvenc, and creates a half-chance.
