They've brought in lots of offensive talent over the last three years but the other end of the pitch hasn't kept pace. Omar Gonzalez, who is considered one of the best center halfs, and Matt Hedges, one of the other alleged best, get so routinely schooled when they're paired for the US nats that it's like guaranteed loss night.
If Seba were more selfish, I think he could run at these defenders all day and score three just about every game. (Of course, he'd be triple-teamed off the ball and crippled with injuries, but the skill level point is valid).
