Personally US approached the game correctly and despite the early goal they kept their heads in the game and I admire them for the tenacity.England sadly did not capitalize on their strengths and Capello failed to go to the bench to give Heskey some relief. Darren Bent or Dafoe could have easily finished USA off, Crouch was the wrong choice.
One thing for sure is that England will not win this World Cup after that shit they played in the second half. The supporters knew this especially when Altidore broke the defense and almost put one in the net. Altidore and Findley are going to score before this first round is over

WELL DONE USA!!!
The most under-rated team in the World. They match up against any team in the WORLD and they do WELL! The know out to be disciplined and they know how to fight!
TnT WILL never catch them in terms of level, NEVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What the US is getting in terms of overall productivity on field didnt happen overnight, it started with a systematic plan of development domestically since d early 90s.
While i don't expect them to contend for this cup, they will soon be on the level of the top tier within the next 8 years.
I surely don't like them as a team, but i surely have to respect the diligent approach to their development and i have to applaud them with the on field results.

After the 66 WC, the US fed. decide to make a big push to popularize the game. The brought english teams to rep. different cities. After that they formed the league like NASL. Remember after 67 a whole lot of Trini, JA and haitians came to the US and played. They started their youth program from then. It took a while but it sure did produce.

Not sure about that....The rate of development will slow, and it has slowed...and that's natural. How long have we been hearing that the U.S. will be the best football team in the next 10 years based on past growth? Growth and development at the rate which we have observed is not sustainable. If you think about it, the U.S. World Cup team of 2002 was at the same relative level (give or take) of this U.S. World Cup team....I bet you that in WC 2002, people were calling for the U.S. to win this World Cup....
They've made tremendous progress, but to extrapolate that rate of growth into the forseeable future is naive.

I would not compare the US team of 2002 to the current 2010..simply because the US reaching quarterfinals in 2002 was more of a surprise than if the US was to make quarterfinals in 2010..the US is expected by more people to make quarterfinals in 2010, more than it has ever been in the past because of its PROGRESS in the sport...and no I dont believe the team in 20001 was at the same level of this team either..also there are more expectations of this team than any US team of the past
-
The US has reached their peak level since 1998, since then they have not really improved. They can compete with any team physically.
They will not get blown out
But they will not consistiently beat the top teams in the world.
They are a good tier 2 team and they will not ever get to tier 1 any time soon.
It may take 2-3 generations for that to change
it is a cultural thing.
Not until their are more youths dreaming about the world cup than the super bowl/ world series / NBA will it happen.
It comes down to talent and focus!
You need your best talent focused 100% to create a shift to a tier 1 team.

I'm not saying that their team isn't better. Brazil's team is better than it was in 1990... Spain is better than it was last world Cup... You can say that for alot of teams...wasn't my point. I meant relatively speaking, there is not a tremendous gap between where they were 8 years ago and where they are now...(i.e. Not nearly as large a gap as that which existed between US soccer in 1994 and US soccer in 2002 for e.g.)... They are more or less at the same level relative to the globe as they were 8 years ago...I totally agree that the U.S. is continuing to improve. I just don't think the rate of improvement that people extrapolate to U.S. soccer is realistic. I think that the steepest part of their learning curve is behind them, and that the progress that we will see from here on in is more moderate than many expect...
Who knows?

You forget the soccer youth system in America is the best in the region. USA getting naturalized mexicans, Italians etc for the bright future. expect usa to win the cup in our generation,
