The US has settled into the game but has yet to make an impression on the Czech defense. Czech marking is excellent and they are not giving the US time on the ball.

The USA needs to get the ball wide where Convey and Beasley can use their speed. Reyna is beginning to get time on the ball and to dictate the play. Nedved is playing a more central midfield role than we see him play with Juventus.

When the Czech's get the ball they are playing at a higher tempo. The US is not able to use any speed adavantage because of a slower build-up.

Reyna's shot hits the post at the end of a better move. The ball was moved quickly and the shot was an inch or two out. Cech well beaten.

Thirty minutes in and if you were marking a score card I would say that the US has come back to match the Czechs.
