It was Egypt, but an Egyptian side that had been playing very well. And, it was no fluke. Total domination by the US!
Now, I hope to see a great effort vs. Spain on Wednesday, the #1 ranked team in the world right now.
I do not agree with Harkes' criticism of Dempsey. Yeah, I see his point about some lax defensive play at times, but bear in mind, Clint Dempsey has played every minute of the three matches in this tourney, plus all the minutes in all the World Cup qualifiers too. If you've never played the sport, you cannot appreciate how grueling it can be, especially for midfielders. They run up to 10 miles in games, covering long sprints of 60-80 yards repeatedly. Dempsey needs a rest. But! not until after Wednesday.
Shock the world. Beat Spain!
U S A !
