Great performance by the USA....sure they got the lucky goal and England created chances in the second half but the US could have won the damn thing. several things.
1 ) An unheralded US midfield dominated a supposed great England midfield , a $100 million wouldn't buy you that English midfield. Gerrard and Lampard once again show that they just don't play well together as a central midfield pairing , Rooney was anonymous for most of the game, as a forward he spent most of the game chasing back for the ball....thanks to Bradley and Clarke and Dempsey...they ran all day......we talked about the England back four and you saw how old and slow the central pairing are....Altidore just showed what can be done with speed and control.....Howard was brilliant, he was always a great shot stopper, ironically the reason why Manchester United got rid of him was because he was prone to howlers like the Green one in his days there, he was very young then though.
This is an England performance that will get them slaughtered at home , I really liked how the US coach stayed positive , he wanted to go on and win it....that's great...
Great job.
