It was not a good game for US team. They looked surprisingly insecure in the first half and didn't seem to be as determined as I'm used to see them. The defense didn't help the goalkeeper at all, and Spain dominated the field almost completely. After the changes it looked a bit more even in the second half and US had even some attempts to score but didn't successed. Are they prepared well to Golden Cup which starts in the next week?
I expected something more from US. Still remember the game against Spain on the Confederation Cup and the sensational win of the US team 2:0.
US players ralery troubled Pepe Reina, who played most of the game in the Spain's goal. Casillas stepped in for the last 15 minutes. Wouldn't put lost goals on Tim Howard's account, he was without chances in all of those situations.
Spain didn't seem to have an excellent time lately. The lost against Portugal and Argentina. What's more it is said that the team is divided by the inner conflicts due to anthypaties between Real and Barca players. But still the are the Champions of Europe and of the World and also the leader of their qualification group for Euro 2012. It's still a lot of time before the tournament to regain unity.
