It was that bad. Replying to my own: So has The Guardian. It's minute-by-minute has called it an own goal by the keeper -- even if Dempsey officially has gotten credit for it. Mike

In the prep match with Turkey a couple of weeks ago, Arda of the Turkish side got a goal probably almost the way Gerrard did to put them up 1-0. While the US eventually prevailed, the moaning both before and after was how spotty the U.S. defense is. How I wish the US could show command in the backfield like that of the Dutch defenders de Boer or Koeman.

53' 1-1 (Gerrard 4' -- Dempsey 40') Howard's getting bombarded in the early second half, but he not only appears healthy -- he appears to be quite the keeper who will be the man who has to carry this team as far as they will go in this tournament. Looking for substitutions in the back, though. England's already used two subs. The US: None. Mike |
