I gave up. I really did. There was no way the US would rebound after giving up a 4th minute goal. Not against England. Not in the World Cup.
A lot will say that we didn't deserve to tie; that Robert Green giftwrapped a goal for us. But the fact remains, we walked out of Rustenberg with a tie against England, in a game where we gave up a 4th minute goal.
I predicted we would make it out of our group because of the experience of last year's Confed Cup. We settled down after giving up that goal and really showed maturity, confidence and professionalism. We may have been over-matched, but we were not afraid of England. This is a different team than in years past. Bob Bradley really has them ready for every task, so much that I am not worried about a letdown against Slovenia and/or Algeria. Especially since we have Tim Howard and others don't.
