The two outside backs have the same first name, but not much else in common. Whereas Spector is cool, composed and steady, Bornstein is nervous, shaky and reckless. I love DeMerit’s story.

After fighting through that I don't think he's about to take it easy. I also think it would be interesting to compare Spector and Bornstein, two young players getting their shot on the outside. Spector seems much more polished and confident. Johnny B does try hard which I appreciate, but sometimes that's not just good enough.

I'm from Denver so I have a bias to favor Conor but i also saw him lose a ball he shouldn't have. He has the desire, i think he just needs to stay calm. He uses his big body well though. I love our two "new" defenders Spector and DeMerit. They are just clinical. And i agree, how come Clint gets to be lazy? just because he's been on the team a while? I really like Clint, but that first goal was all his fault. The US got after it today though! There was a ton of heart and pace; very exciting. Very nicely written and I agree with you almost 100%.
