No help for Keller
The U.S. team made their World Cup 2006 debut and promptly went with a whimper to the Czech Republic. Only 5 minutes into the game, the CR scored their first goal. That was followed by two more goals in the 36th and 76th minute.
The highlight. That’s right, single highlight, for the U.S. was a shot by Claudio Reyna that hit the post. Eddie Johnson was the only other player of note as he had two quality (relative) chances in the second half.
The goat of the game was Oguchi Onyewu who was responsible for all three goals. On the first, he was out of position. On the second, he missed a clearing attempt. And on the third, he let Rosicki run right by him.
Up next: Italy on Saturday.
