A draw vs. England is fine for the US.

That was a gift from God that USA walked out with a draw. Fine goal keeping and full backs! They sure worked like mad men to constantly thwart England.

I am glad to see the USA turned down the athleticism a little so they had steam for the last 20 minutes. Remember what they did with Brazil; lead on the first half and fizzle out horribly later... Not this ‘go around. No one can open the field like Brazil, so you're stuck running like banshees.

Draw against England is a win for USA.

Moses, I agree with you on two points and disagree on one. That draw was like a win and Tim Howard had a great game in goal. Our backs though are killing me with their play. The aren't applying any kind or pressure or channelling the attackers. It was like that in the friendlies and it was like that in the England game. It drives me crazy!!!

....Gave the Brits WAY too much space in the second half....if not for Howard a different outcome indeed!....That being said, I'll take it!!

What a crazy ending to the Ghana/Serbia game. I have to admit, I've been enjoying the World Cup, and I am generally not a soccer fan.

Is this driving anyone else crazy?
