It appeared the US's strategy may have been more to try not to lose the


game by 6 goals than to try to win the game. Yes, Navas is a great goalie and the US dominated the possession. However, if the US was truly trying to win the game instead of leaving there with at least a point or a loss by fewer than 6 goals, then the US probably should have had a lot more shots than 10. I don't even have a problem with a team taking the strategy with the goal to earn 1 point or not lose by X number of goals because the US achieved its objective; qualify for the World Cup. Even if the US had won the game, it probably wouldn't have changed which pot the US would be placed in for the upcoming draw.
