The U.S. trounced Poland 3-0 in an friendly on Wednesday with the goals from Carlos Bocanegra, Eddie Lewis and Oguchi Onyewu.
“I thought it was a great team effort tonight,” said U.S. head coach Bob Bradley. “Obviously we took advantage of set pieces, which is always a positive. More importantly, we showed the mentality and discipline necessary to win games on the road against good opponents like Poland. I thought the crowd tonight was fantastic. It was a special atmosphere, one that our players really appreciated.”
The result is not really that surprising considering we have owned the Poles for the last few years, but it is nice to get a win away from American soil (something Bradley has struggled to do). Not much else to say about this one. Mainly because I didn't see it.
