Perfect example, in any sport, if you're better than your opponent but you let them hang around it will come back and bite you in the butt. Tons of scoring opportunities in the first half but the American shooters couldn't hit the broad side of a barn. I was thinking at halftime that we were in trouble. Then we took a couple one goal leads and I thought we might escape but no. Just like the last Charger-Jet playoff game, Super Bowl III, etc. you've got to put away lesser teams when you have the chance. We didn't. We lost.

Too bad US couldn't capitalize on chances and let Japan hang around. Exciting game still. And soccer's usually boring.
