Those stats are an improvement from what the first half was!
Consolation (if any), the US lost 2-1 to Honduras so also failed to qualify... that's a HUGE fail on their part all things considered.
I almost feel dirty now adopting them as my Olympic Dark Horse, due to that 8-0 thrashing they gave us a few years back in WCQ (I'm sure Dezza will correct me on the score, was it 8-1? 7-0? It was a thrashing...), but in that case, it's our own fault for going into hostile territory so utterly unprepared for the whole gamut of experiences playing down there.Places like El Salvador and Honduras always seem to punch above their weight.
It's amazing.

Agree.I swear it is the way they are coached though. You cant defend like that for 90 minutes on a good.
If you are then you at least need a striker up front that is effective at being a lone man.
Frustrating to watch.
