This US team is pretty mediocre, i think they played a sound strategic game (Well played Coach Bradley) against a team who could not adjust to take advantage of all the opportunities they had. Howard showed why he is a great goalkeeper.
That being said, any team can beat any team on any given day. Strategy is a big component in soccer (even though it might not seem that way). I think the US had nothing to lose, they were expected to lose to a greater opponent, with loads more talent on the field, but Del Bosque could not figure out a way to pentrate that last line of Defense, specifically Howard.
Brazil looks flat, but they are facing the locals, always a tough game... (See France vs Brazil 1998 WC)
