Watching on a dodgy in and out stream, but another real good performance by AWs. Bit of a messy game compared to Mexico match I thought, with scrappy/soft goals and not helped by what looked a lumpy pitch.

Few heart in mouth moments esp with Marinovic as obviously team under instructions to keep fearlessly playing out from the back. I thought Dyer mostly looked really good, and later in 2nd half the pace of him and Barba etc caused real problems for the Yanks.

Very promising signs, but still was a pretty moderate USA side, and NZF needs to do their best to try for friendlies against likes of Mexico who more mirror South American teams. Very difficult to arrange I know.
