The US got its first win of the 2018 calendar year by beating Paraguay tonight to the tune of 1-0 . While it is hard for some to get up for meaningless friendlies like these, the US and Paraguay did not disappoint. Let’s break down tonights two halves, and our player of the game.
First Half - The US got off to a very solid start and you could tell they were mentally up for it tonight. The team was pressuring the ball quickly and did not shy away from challenges. There were multiple times where the US would quickly change tactics from trying to play the ball on the ground to quickly switching to an open long ball for Kenny Saief or Bobby Wood to run onto.
