During the course of the USA – Czech match one of the commentators on ESPN said that coach Bruce Arena seemed to be suffering from an “emotional detachment” from what was going on on the field.His face seemed to wear an expression of absolute utter disinterest every time the cameras zoomed in on him.

Perhaps the latter is true because after the game he was very critical of Landon Donovan, DaMarcus Beasley and Kasey Keller for poor play.
There also seems to have been plenty of bickering and finger pointing.
