Better to be lucky than good right? Well the US wasn't lucky, but I'd say we were fortunate today in the 1-1 draw against favored England. England was favored for a reason, they are a solid team and they played solid all game long. The biggest miscue being the fumbled stop on a Clint Dempsey shot in the 40th minute.

Yes the drop by England's goalie Robert Green was one of the main stories, but I think that the US proved today that it can hang with just about any team on the field. They played maturely and didn't let the early mistake in the 4th minute haunt them all game.

Next game: Algeria next Friday 6-18
