One gets the feeling that after the catastrophes of Saturday, a great emphasis was put on strong safeguarding, specifically given the strength of the opposition. Objective accomplished because regard. Now we need to find the balance to do so without stunting the attack completely.
” It was definitely a hard game […] not a great deal of possibilities; an actually hard-fought match. We did a lot of excellent defending. I think we can stroll away happy with a point.

On the day that more nonsense made the media rounds about Frank Lampards expected anti-American predisposition, Christian “Captain America” Pulisic was proud of that most un-American thing of all, a draw.
