-Now that is more like it! USA 5-0 Norway. Taylor Twellman finally gets it going for Team USA with 3 goals. Chris Klein & Eddie Pope added the other two, in a completely, I mean ultra-completely, dominating performance that started early and did not let up. Norway looked about as inept as you possibly could. I would guess that possession was around 75%-25%, and I am not exaggerating for effect.The starting 11 (and subs):G: Kevin HartmanD: Todd Dunivant, Jimmy Conrad, Eddie Pope, Frankie HejdukM: Kerry Zavagnin, Pat Noonan, Clint Dempsey, Landon DonovanF: Josh Wolff, Taylor TwellmanSubs:Nate Jaqua for Wolff in the 67thSantino Quaranta for Dempsey in the 70thChris Klein for Noonan in the 77thBen Olsen for Zavagnin in the 79thBrian Ching for Taylor Twellman in the 83rdUgo Ihemelu for Pope in the 83rdHere are some press reports:US Soccer - match report, photos and videoYanks Abroad - match reportSoccer Times - match report and player ratings by Robert WagmanAmerican Soccer News - match report and player ratings
