BY BRIAN MANGANDespite the Gold Cup starting this week, the MLS labored on. While many teams were without a few key parts because of the tournament, a few of our Yanks at Home showed up great against Canada and have likely earned another look against Panama. Juan Agudelo and Chris Wondolowski both impressed in their time up top. A great cross from Jozy Altidore was followed very well by Juan Agudelo. Although it got just past him,Clint Dempsey was able to finish it. Also Agudelo took this shot (2:24), which impressed me only a little less than Dempsey's Scorpion kick. Landon Donovan was also his usual self impressing throughout the entire game despite being slowed down by illness. Yet the most impressive MLS'er for the Americans and maybe the most impressive performance by any American against Canada was the job Tim Ream did in the middle of the defense. The pairing of Ream and Clarence Goodson worked wonderfully together and helod Canada to barely any legitimate attacking threats. Ream may have made one or two mistakes but nothing that shouldn't be expected of such a young player. I would be surprised if this pair doesn't start again against Panama and expect them to play until they lose their spots. That may have been the best back line we've had in some time and could easily be together until 2014.
