Saw a stat after the game that USA was something like 0 for 15 on crosses, and that b*****d was 1 for 1.

Great pass, but he should never have been allowed to have the ball and that kind of space. USA needs to do a much better job killing clock when protecting a lead.

It was the botched corner situation that really irked me.

The point of going to the corner is to get a corner kick or at least a throw in out of it, which takes more time off. It was like the US player said “I’m tired of this” and kicked the ball out, to let Portugal have it.
