I disagree, I thought the US played well after the first 15 minutes.
DeMerit shut down Rooney, he had to go back further and further toward midfield to try to get going. Cherundolo is consistent, and Onyewu had a couple solid stops.
Jozy missed that chance, and I didn't think Findley played well. I'd like to see Buddle for the whole game next time, he played well against Australia last week.
Donovan had a hard time against Ashley Cole, who is one of the best left backs in the world. But I liked some of his services, and I think the team in general will continue to improve.
