Dangerous getting forward and kept his side quiet on defense.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Carlos Bocanegra<\/strong> \u2013 <strong>4.5<\/strong><br \/>\nHad some shaky moments, but settled down in the second half.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Michael Orozco Fiscal<\/strong> \u2013 <strong>3.5<\/strong><br \/>\nJust doesn\u2019t look ready for this level. Too sloppy and physical.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Timothy Chandler<\/strong> \u2013 <strong>5.5<\/strong><br \/>\nQuiet night, but that\u2019s better than most U.S. left backs performances lately.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Kyle Beckerman<\/strong> \u2013 <strong>6<\/strong><br \/>\nQuiet first half, but played the role of anchor well in the second half.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Danny Williams<\/strong> \u2013 <strong>6<\/strong><br \/>\nImpressive debut. Held his own and looked comfortable.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Maurice Edu<\/strong> \u2013 <strong>5.5<\/strong><br \/>\nBad yellow card, but otherwise a solid, if quiet, night.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Brek Shea<\/strong> \u2013 <strong>6.5<\/strong><br \/>\nShea certainly has earned a place in the national team with performances like tonight. Used his pace and creativity to create chances on the wing, but he\u2019ll want his second half chance back.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Clint Dempsey<\/strong> \u2013 <strong>8<\/strong><br \/>\nFantastic goal and spearheaded the U.S. attack all night. Seemingly involved in all the U.S. Chances.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Jozy Altidore<\/strong> \u2013 <strong>5<\/strong><br \/>\nSomewhat quiet night. Hasn\u2019t been able to turn his club form into goals for the U.S.<\/p>\n<p>(sub) <strong>Oguchi Onyewu<\/strong> \u2013 <strong>6<\/strong><br \/>\nMissed a sitter, but was the best center back of the night for the U.S.<\/p>\n<p>(sub) <strong>Damarcus Beasley<\/strong> \u2013 <strong>6<\/strong><br \/>\nBeasley showed he still has a lot of pace and showed a bit of the form that made him so deadly in World Cup 2002.<\/p>\n<p>(sub) <strong>Michael Bradley<\/strong> \u2013 <strong>6.5<\/strong><br \/>\nReally helped put an end to any Honduras threat after he came on.<\/p>\n<p>(sub) <strong>Jonathan Spector<\/strong> \u2013 <strong>N\/R<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>(sub) <strong>Juan Agudelo<\/strong> \u2013 <strong>N\/R<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Several good performances contributed to the U.S. win.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":4910,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","enabled":false}}},"categories":[22],"tags":[],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/nesoccertoday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/howardfeature2.jpg?fit=490%2C225&ssl=1","jetpack_likes_enabled":false,"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/nesoccertoday.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6493"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/nesoccertoday.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/nesoccertoday.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nesoccertoday.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nesoccertoday.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=6493"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/nesoccertoday.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6493\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6495,"href":"https:\/\/nesoccertoday.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6493\/revisions\/6495"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nesoccertoday.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/4910"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/nesoccertoday.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=6493"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nesoccertoday.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=6493"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nesoccertoday.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=6493"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
