Brian McBride isn't in this game. When the ball is played up to him his first touch has been poor and that means he is unable to bring the other US players into the game.

A killer goal from Rosicky a poor clearing header from Onyewu drops to him. Reyna can't close him down quickly enough and the Arsenal player scores an absolute cracker. Apart from the two defnsive mistakes the US isn't playing bad football - just very ineffective football.

Nice and pretty but very predictable. Koller goes down holding his hamstring and he will be out of the game. This could have reprecussions in game 2, 3 and possibly later. A big blow to the Czech's WC hopes. Czech team size drops 2 inches as 6' 5" Vratislav Lovenc (Salzburg) replaces him.

Half time - USA needs to provide Brian McBride with some support and the team needs to be balanced. There is no natural width on the right hand side and with Nedved playing inside there is no reason why the USA can't make inroads down that side.
