Well, I think in overall the US was the better team.
Defense is holding nicely. The worst problem is going from midfield to frontline. Because there is a lot of ball loss there with bad passing and poor ball handeling.
You have to respect them, cause they are deff. not parking the buss against a team that on paper is just better. And they put up a high block. And there are always 3 guys lurking to go into offense or put pressure on the defensive line of England when they get the ball.
... but, I'm so curious in the 2nd half. Because this costs a lot of energy. And last game they just couldn't keep it up.

@Kwek00 Despite not having the possession % or shots on goal?

@WintaTheAngle Do you have a stat site for that? Because I was looking up if I could find the numbers after halftime, but I only can find full time now?
Next to that, it's not because you have more ball possession that you are doing something usefull with it. I still think the US had the better chances in the 1st half and came closer to an advantage then the English. But maybe my perception is blurred by the experience.

@WintaTheAngle Well, I won't argue over the fact that they were ineffecient in front.
