Another Victory for the United States men national team

As the United States men's national team worked its way toward a 4-0 win over Guatemala at Nissan Stadium in Nashville, Tennessee, on Friday night, one spot on the pitch drew plenty of criticism from observers of the red, white and blue. 

The combination of full back Timothy Chandler and right-sided midfielder DeAndre Yedlin on the right wing produced a mixed bag of results throughout their 90 minutes together on the field. Despite some of the positive exploits from the pairing on the right side of midfield, there are still plenty of concerns about the duo heading into Tuesday's CONCACAF Gold Cup opener against Honduras. 

At the beginning of the match, Yedlin used his speed to create distance between himself and the Guatemalan defenders. His quickness reaped rewards for the Yanks in the 19th minute, as his cross hit the head of Guatemala's Carlos Castrillo and found the back of the net.

Despite his successful surges into the final third, Yedlin displayed some defensive weaknesses during the first half. In the eighth minute, we caught the first glimpse of Yedlin tracking back near his own goal, as Chandler tucked into the middle of the penalty area. 

Yedlin misjudged his sliding tackle against Carlos Mejia, but luckily for the 21-year-old midfielder, the Guatemalan midfielder's cross turned into nothing substantial. However, this became a trend throughout the first half, as Mejia was able to find space on the wing because of Chandler's lack of exceptional positioning.

In the 33rd minute, Yedlin was left all by himself again because of Chandler's presence inside the box on a free-kick. The set piece was played out wide to Mejia, who whipped in a dangerous cross that Brad Guzan eventually covered up.

But the Yanks may not benefit from the same fate in Group A against Honduras, Haiti and Panama. Two of the three teams in that group have the potential of causing plenty of damage throughout the competition, especially 2013 runners-up Panama.
