USA 1, England 1: Highlights

The US managed to take home a point today, battling England to an entertaining 1-1 draw.  Here are the highlights:



I'll post some more extensive thoughts and reactions to this match later, but for now I will just say that I am pretty happy with the result and pleased with the play of Tim Howard and the back four.  The Yanks held their own against Capello and company, and they shut down Rooney to the point that he was drifting back towards midfield to pick up the ball.  They took a point, still have a very good chance of progressing to the knockout rounds, and also still have an opportunity to finish at the top of Group C.  Certainly a better start than back in 2006. 

Tomorrow, my attention will shift to Algeria-Slovenia to see how the other Group C teams stack up.  For now, though, I'll just celebrate a memorable result for the USMNT.
