Your watching the ball not a bigger area to see what is going on by team mates off the ball. I get annoyed with US football because not enough is going on off the ball to help the dribbler.

Plus not enough skillful play. I thought Germsn v Italy in the first half was fantastic because of the skillful play. Who cares there was no score in the first half. If either team could not control the ball on the first or second touch they lost it.

The US can't do that so against either team we would like a big mess and be way behind in that half.
