It was a chance to make a statement on the world’s largest stage and change the perceptions about how the world views American soccer. Well, if the world just wants American’s to be comfortable with nil-nil draws than mission accomplished I guess? The United States Men’s National Team played England to a scoreless draw on Friday afternoon and while the American’s looked like the marginally better team, and many celebrated the draw like a win, both sides seemed to be approaching the match pretty cautiously and content with a draw. That approach makes sense for England who have now effectively qualified for the knockout rounds (barring a total disaster against Wales on Tuesday) and sit in the drivers seat for top place in the group.
