Player Ratings: USA 1-2 Belgium
The lack of a consistent American attack made things far too easy for the Belgians and were it not for Tim Howard, they likely would have wrapped things up in normal time.
The lack of a consistent American attack made things far too easy for the Belgians and were it not for Tim Howard, they likely would have wrapped things up in normal time.
With Portugal and Ronaldo getting the job done against Ghana, the US played a cautious game of damage limitation and in the end results dictated that they never needed to mount a serious attack.
The US was the better team on the night, but serious mistakes at the start and end of the match forced them to accept a 2-2 draw against Portugal.
The game plan went out the window after a minute and the US lost two critical starters by halftime, but that didn’t stop them from digging deep and claiming a precious three points against Ghana.
