Not only that, but less points separate us from 11th than Mexico at 20 to us at 19.

Klinny has done a great job. Plus he has grown the talent pool to a point that the US looks good going forward. The addition of Aron Johannsson and John Anthony Brooks are great finds by him

Yeah I noticed that also. Another strong month, and we could easily move another 6 spots up.

Altidore with 5 goals in 5 games, ties it at 58 minutes.

Altidore with his 2nd goal of the game on a nice free kick, 3-2 US.

4-2 now as Altidore gets the hat trick.

That was an insane last 10 minutes in that game. If we had a decent defense we could actually make a legit push into top 10. Do we even have 1 of the back 4 spots locked down yet though?

We move to 12th with the points from that game. Doesn't work that way but that's the simulated result.

Altidore, wow. His freekick was beauty.

Forward through the midfield & goal i would say the US is a top 12-15 team in the world, but that back line sometimes just looks atrocious. Brooks has a lot of potential but he is young. the other three really don't have an excuse for how poor they play sometimes.
