If you have issues with the math, don't shoot the messenger. Take it up with them. Claude, I’m just saying what US Soccer is saying. If you have issues with the math, don’t shoot the messenger.

It's wins divided by total matches played no matter if they draw not wins versuses loses. Fancy yourself educated all you want, but once again, when it comes to basic math and logic, you fail miserably.

Sweden's A team would have been a bigger problem. But the point is that, hey it was a game and US won! Happy, happy!

It wasn't just Sweden who fielded their b-team, the US had a bunch of young hopefuls in there as well (something people fail to mention in their haste to deride US soccer and downplay any successes). I expected more open play, more attack. The final score doesn't matter in a game like this; I wanted to see an exciting game with guys trying to earn a spot. Landon is still frustrating to watch because at times he is so good; if he eventually takes his skirt off he could be an amazing player, someone all US soccer fans can get behind (which is far from the case now).

If last year's Denmark game didn't count because they didn't field their A team, what are the chances that this one will count? I also had the same question.

Though beating Sweden's U-21s is something, and Landon will surely take goals anywhere he can get them. I had the same question, Chris.
