After Jurgen's incredibly disappointing first year in 2011, he got the US national team off to a good start with a 1-0 win over Venezuela last night. While this game doesn't mean as much, since both the US and Venezuela were missing several key players, it serves a step in the right direction. Led by Heath Pearce, Jermain Jones, Benny Feilhaber, Brek Shea and Ricardo Clark, USA had a flurry of chances to win the game, but couldn't finish until literally the last minute. The offense was clicking on almost all cylinders, except for the most important one: finishing. Clark, who was probably the most experienced US player on this friendly roster, scored in the 7th minute of 2nd half injury time to capture victory for America. So enjoy this highlight chalk full of US' misses and a dramatic game winning header. Next up for the US is Panama on Wednesday.
