USA Rocked By Morocco in Nashville

I was looking forward to reading comments this morning from all our US Soccer fans about how stong their team is and how they would shock the world in Germany.

Instead, we get reality.

United States are not going to shock the world, we'll leave that to Australia.

So what did the 'Amis', as the Germans call Americans, get out of this little excercise in Nashville?

No More Rockin' Tonight

Match Summary

Things looked bad when US captain, Claudio Reyna hobbled off the field of play with a strained right hamstring in the 17th minute. But just how bad?

When Reyna was replaced by Pablo Mastroeni, he passed the captain's armband to Landon Donovan.

It was a further hour before the new American captain gave the watching public some sort of hope.

In the 82nd minute, Moroccan goalkeeper Tarek El Jarmouni could only parry Landon Donovan's 25-yard shot but Eddie Johnson skuffed the rebound, with an open net laughing at him.

USA were made to pay for this missed opportunity when Morocco substitute, Mohamed Madihi countered in the last minute of regular play, to easily lift Bouchaib El Moubarki's pass over a stranded Kasey Keller.

United States 0 - Morocco 1
