Beas should have controlled that one better he could have scored.

Yea very poor finishing. Paraguay should've had 3 goals, but poor finishing did them in. Then the USA should've had 4 goals but poor finishing did them in. Stewart made up for his. Kasey got his 30th career US cleansheet today. 
I was a boring game... Paraguay was looking terrible!!! It looked like that they are some kids from a playground. Americans did not show great game eder. Horeble shots on goal from USA side looked unprofecional. I happy for US, and they were much better than Paraguay.

good win by the USA. 
Very good match for the US.
In midfield we linked up perfectly. Donovan did a good job of getting involved in the first half, dropping back in midfield, on the left wing and getting on to the end of through balls as well. He was our best player in the first half and was rewarded with a goal. In the second half Paraguay started playing better defense and closed him down, so he wasn't quite as dangerous. Beasley had a great game. Whether it was taking the ball away in defense, dribbling past clueless Paraguay defenders or sending in through passes into the box, he was on top of his game. It's scary how fast he's improving year-to-year, even month-to-month.
Mathis was mostly invisible, except for two long-range shots. This was due to the fact that we were attacking down the left for most of the first half, so he was a little isolated. Same thing with Stewart in the first half, but he did his best to get involved in the game anyway.
I'm still not sold on Convey. The guy runs a lot, helps out defensively - which is good. He can dribble well but he needs space to do it. He's not a player like Beasley who can have three defenders around him and still escape with the ball. Convey needs to be one-on-one with a defender and have lots of space around him. Then he can get past the defender easily, but that's the only way he can be dangerous on the dribble. He needs to work on shooting. He misses way too many scoring chances. As for his passing, I've seen better from him earlier this year (he was even taking corner kicks for the US at one point).
Mulrooney had a good game at d-mid but really didn't stand out. He's a decent player at NT level but we have two players - Mastroeni and Armas - who can do the same job better.
In defense, Vanney had a few shaky moments at left back. His delivery on CK's was OK. Hejduk showed that he has the speed - though not always the composure - to start at right back for the NT. Overall he had a very good game and was the better of the two outside backs.
In central defense, there were a few moments when we were exposed but overall Bocanegra did a solid job as usual. Gibbs is my kinda defender. Played very well today. He might not be Eddie Pope, but he's the next best thing we got right now in central defense. Keller was solid as usual.
Reyna looked very good out there. I would still rather see him come of the bench in the two group matches of the Gold Cup, then start him in the quarterfinals. Eddie Lewis made a bad mistake on a breakaway, he had so many good options it seemed impossible to screw up, but somehow he managed to that by running straight into the defender and losing the ball. However, he made up for it with an excellent cross for Beasley which DMB should have done better with.
