00:00 You might make the excuse that the United States was not quite as sharp as it should
00:04 be because it had already assured itself a spot in the knockout round.
00:09 But typically, you want to play good soccer all the way through, and especially when first
00:16 place in the group is on the line, because it can matter a bit.
00:22 But the United States did not play well at all.
00:24 Alex Morgan entered the game in the second half.
00:27 She had a couple of marginal opportunities, wasn't able to really come close to scoring
00:33 a goal.
00:34 A couple of times she had places where she might have been able to create something.
00:40 She was able to create some opportunities on through balls to teammates, but none of
00:47 that came to a goal.
00:50 So the Americans have got to be real disappointed.
00:53 it'll be interesting to see how they bounce back from this in the knockout round.
