USA gets thrashed by Spain 3-0
International Friendly but we were schooled.
I think the best that US soccer fans can even come away from it is that there is no shame in losing to the best in the world and USA essentially had their "B" team going up against Spain's "A" team. No Donovan, Dempsey, Bradley, etc. Dempsey and Bradley entered the game in the 2nd half and the U.S. was able to somewhat compete but it was otherwise ugly. Spain put on a clinic and exposed USA's biggest problems. They do not have a great defense, they have no go to striker to date, and zero depth.
Spain on the other hand had no problem moving the ball. Thank goodness we have Tim Howard. It could have easily have been a 7 or 8-0 embarassment.

The USA starts its Gold Cup tournament against Canada tomorrow night which is why they sat their "A" team out most of the game and had to bring in Dempsey and Bradley to try to minimize any further damage. It was already 3-0 at halftime and over at that point. I think I blacked out by the time the 4th goal was scored.
