After seeing the opening mins of this half, things i have seen:
1. Both Defenses playing well and not allowing a score...yes each time always is either in the attack or countering but they play defense.
2. No change in the make up of the starting team..I wonder what New Orleans fans would have thought if key plays had been sat for their superbowl game...
3. As they as the touch of both teams after passing is very crisp,,,no pass to a player and then loss possession.
4. Forwards or strikers for these teams have and will score.
5. Was it mentioned defense defense defense..
The point is no team playing at the world cup level can give up goals within the first 15 min and expect to advance.
Dont get me wrong, i am glad the Americans won the group and advanced but do you fully realize the draw they had in the knock out round? The would have avoided Any Superpower in Football until the semi finals...
