Although I don't suppose I would blame them. But letting the opponent keep the ball on your defensive side with too many shots at goal is never a good strategy. Controlling the midfield will be something the U.S. needs to work on if they hope to make it to the final 8.

They are keeping Rooney off balance well.

US was probably looking for the draw in this group match anyway. In last 3-4 minutes now, they just want to make sure of no famous last- minute goal. |
