I would have been more happy with yesterday's game if the U.S. had mounted at least a little offensive pressure. They had exactly one legitimate scoring chance through 90 minutes of play, then two chances in injury time -- after they were pretty much assured of advancing. The rest of the game they appeared to be just sitting back trying to keep Germany from scoring too much and hoping that Ghana did not win the other game.
This was a great example of backing into advancing.
