Albeit a friendly, they won on Mexican soil for the first time in history. All without their captain and two best players. Outstanding defensive effort from Geoff Cameron, Fabian Johnson, Tim Howard and all.

On another note, can we please see more of Alex Morgan?

Watched it. Weak goal but whatever works. Strong showing though...

Didn't see it nor did I even know they were playing.

Mexican soil? They played in Pasadena again?

One could argue that Howard and Donovan are USA's two best players, but if you're talking about Dempsey and Bradley, yeah it was a huge win without them.

I didn't really consider that. I believe Bradley and Dempsey are their 2 best players and it is not even close. At least that's how I see it.

I'd say they are the two best strikers... Creators would have Donovan in the mix with Bradley but Bradley has shown to be innovative to say the least...

JMO...

Bradley is the the furthest thing from a striker. He is the USAs first true box to box center. Every bit as creative in attack as Ramos and every bit as tenacious in defense as Reyna. Bradley is .. even with Dempsey and Donovan as good as they are .. currently our MOST irreplaceable player. Followed closely by Howard.
