From listening to the announcers, they were talking about how the English media discussing how much they would beat the US by. Considering they drew against a team they were supposed to easily beat, not sure I would be bragging.

Oh stop it. You thought you would destroy the US and didn't. You know exactly why this is a good sign for the US. This program is only going to get better and better in coming years. No need to be defensive. We all know you guys are a great side.

You came in talking trash last week and it didn't go as you thought. Surely you can just admit it didn't go as planned without the little "well we still have more points" comment. It's like when Canadians don't like to acknowledge growth in American hockey.

As a casual observer I learned we don't have a world class striker. It's a big country, we really should find one.

I love all the soccer haters who feel the need to pop into these threads and show that they are, well, the bitch half of a homosexual relationship and take it in the ass.

This

This is a huge achievement for US soccer. Our midfield dominated and we hit post and had way more scoring opportunities than I anticipated

Yea, against a country that measures its collective tiny peens by these games. You got chunneled by this tie.

Right? Soccer is literally sport #4 or #5 in the US while it’s easily the #1 sport in England. In spite of that the US still finished with a tie.

This is the missing piece. Cade Cowell perhaps.

US need to be going balls to the wall against Iran.

Frustrated that the US didn't push the attack in the final minutes against England knowing a draw and a loss amounted to the same consequences entering the final matchday.

This didn’t look like a David and Goliath matchup at all, thats the biggest surprise probably. It wasn’t the case of a brave but undermanned team hanging on with luck. US genuinely outplayed them and had the better chances. McKinnie was the best player on the field. Turner played well. I think they earned some respect today.

Football is clearly second to buggering.

Yeah their media and fans, as proven in this thread, were never thinking tie. Scoreless no less. I do agree that the last 25 min England had half resigned themselves to the fact that they weren't outplaying the US and willing to settle in for the point.

Would have liked to have seen the US be more aggressive. Hard to blame them though. Human nature is going to set in and they know that getting a result here is a stepping stone for this countries soccer program. At the very least they don't need to worry about Wales pulling some miracle I guess.

I didn't talk trash. I ridiculed someone for being a mong. You played well and we played shit and I said it was disappointing. However, this result is clearly better for us whatever way you look at it and it's obvious that our negative manager set us up not to lose. I wish we'd played to win but we picked the conservative option. I accept it and move on.
