England was sucking wind at the end

I was thinking the same thing too, until one of England’s midfielders got knocked down and took about a minute to get up at a critical juncture. if they were that wiped out, bunkering up was smart.

I preferred the US approach too. Don’t know if our guys are just in better shape - Poch, I’ve read, tends to expect high motor - but we were at sea level. So any commentary I have is from the peanut gallery for sure.
