And yes, they could have won it anyways with that missed goal at +-89 min
That's football - one team can dominate 89 minutes and lose by one goal suddenly made by another team
Sounds to me like you no nothing about the beautiful game. The U.S defended resolutely for 90 minutes against a top quality International team that is packed with stars. The beauty of what Klinsmann is forcing through is to try and play open football (and committing men forward which left them exposed at the back hence why most pundits stating it was probably the game of the tournament).

Take the earlier game for example (Switzerland v Argentina). Absolutely dire game with the Swiss sitting back and looking to defend in numbers against a very ordinary Argentina.
