Before the game started I felt the USA could beat England and though they did not, it would not have surprised me if they had. The United States after all managed a win over England in the world cup back in 1950 so why would it be so inconceivable that they could once again defeat the English? After all this English team even failed to qualify to the European championship of 2 years ago and it is not that theirs is a much improved side with basically the same over rated players; who once outside of English football are reduced to being average at best. This being the case for Rooney who was limited to few touches and almost no real scoring threats by a well organized American defense.
As for the game, this started well enough for England when 3 minutes in to the game; Gerard scored to give them a 1-0 lead. The United States however despite giving up an early goal did not back down but rather moved forward and stared creating chances of their own and as a result of which came the equalizer 39 minutes in to the game when Dempsey's weak shot got past England's goalkeeper; Green. It was with the score tied at 1 a piece that the first half ended.
The second half would see more attacks from England though the score would remain unchanged in what would be a draw and a sharing of the points between the USA and England. In conclusion I would say that the match was perhaps the one which till now has held the most excitement in this very young world cup in what I would say was a well earned point for both teams.
