Okay, so I feel like everyone is forgetting that after we allowed the goal, we pretty much DOMINATED the first half. England dominated the last part of the second half, as we were obviously playing for a draw.
Both teams had chances to score again, neither capitalized.
Talked with a bunch of England fans during the game and afterward, and they pretty much all said "You know, you Yanks aren't nearly as bad as we thought. In fact, you are pretty damn good." And really, that's all we want to hear.
We passed really well at times, but our defending is shockingly bad. We might advance out of the group, but won't go any further than that if our defending doesn't get MASSIVELY better. And it all start in the midfield. We need Torres in there. And we need better wide play.
