National senior men’s football team coach Steve McLaren admits that the United States is very difficult to defeat at home, but believes Jamaica was exposed due to poor defending and a failure to protect the football.
McLaren was reacting to lastnight’s 4-2 defeat in the second leg quarter-final of the Concacaf Nations League to the Americans in St. Louis Missouri.
The defeat dumped the Reggaeboyz from the tournament and sent the U.S through to the semi-finals 5-2 on aggregate.

The last two semifinal spots will be filled this evening after Canada with a 1-nil first leg lead, host Suriname and Honduras travel to the Azteca in Mexico City with a 2-nil lead over Mexico.
