SHOCK 0-0 Full Time,
Olympic Gold is still on the table.
FOCUS USA!
We had some severe storms last night and have had a complete cable service outage since late yesterday evening. Still out this a.m., so I couldn’t watch. Was the U.S. just sluggish or was this a tactical, play defensively and accept the draw kind of game? The U.S. started in a goal differential hole but ran up the score on NZ to get back in the driver’s seat on the tiebreaker in group play. Against Australia, smothering Sam Kerr and settling for a draw would be enough. Would have been good to win but with Kerr lurking, staying defensive in a knockout situation may have been the smart strategy.
