Yeah I think thats a about a fair assessment. When I say the better team won on the day I meant in the context of that particular game only. The fact is that the US are a damn good team and often underrated in the minds of soccer mad countries despite the US team making pretty good showings and even upsetting a few of them. (Im looking at England with regard to this World cup and Spain in the Confederations cup where the US knocked them out)
