The US-England match was the most exiting match so far, and both teams played a good game, although England was better and were unlucky the ball slipped past their keeper.

The Argentina game was somewhat boring, the team collectively isn't looking so well...........

What game were you watching that yo thought England played better? US owned the first half, and the second half was 50/50 at best.

Not knowing this sport well I thought England dominated because they were on the offensive side of the field more. We were defending more than attacking.

As to why Americans are all of a sudden interested. It's the worlds best teams playing. That's the same reason a lot of people don't watch baseball until the world series. I'm expecting it to be awesome.

yeah, cuz usa had created more chances of goals? no.

Usa did get lucky that green let that ball slip, and even though they had one good shot on goal by altidore, that doesn't make them 50/50. England had more shots on goal and held possession more often than the US. Ill agree the second half was more even, but the US wasn't even with England.

You're wrong. If anything the second half is where the US fell apart.

The US had possetion 59/41 at the end of the first half. Then in the second half they forgot how to complete passes and their game went to hell.

No. The fact is England scored thanks to collective playing and the US was able to draw with help from Green

and how can you own a half when from minute 6 you are trailing behind, and are only lucky to score in the last 5 minutes of the half to draw?
