Game As
expected the U.S. were in command the entire game , and Greece played
a completely defensive game by
packing the goal mouth and crowding the U.S. forwards, with the help
of a brilliant game by their goalkeeper whose excellent saves kept
them in the game. It worked well and by not allowing any time or space
for
the
U.S. players
they
were
unable to finish most of their huge numbers of shots,. The USA stayed
calm even though frustrated and moved the ball around the field while
trying to open up some scoring pathways. Because the teams in this group have to play one more game than the teams in the other groups, giving them extra rest, it was a good game for the USA, and it was an excellent result for the host team Greece in their first exposure to this level of soccer, and to the viewing Greek population.
