I think only the 2nd half was bad. The 1st half was great, but its clear that the weather and the pressure defense focusing on Jones and Beasley was taking its toll. Why no magical Klinsmann substitutions? Where was Wondo so spark the offense in the 2nd half???
All in all, I think we should give more credit to Germany in the 2nd half, but look at it tempered with the perspective that USA did what it had to do. Germany scores 2 goals we go home. Germany is the 2nd highest scoring team in the Group stages with the 2nd best in goals allowed. We did very well.
Shit, remember all those futbol aficionados who said USA didn't stand a fucking chance in this group? Remember smart people saying USA wouldn't even draw in a single game?
Yeah. USA did its job.. The great thing about futbol is there are realistic expectations, and we just realistically exceeded ours
