They had some key players out with injuries and quite a few on yellow cards. The game in the snow last week would've probably taken a lot out of them too. In those circumstances I imagine they were just holding on for a clean sheet in the hope they might grab a win through a set piece or something. Disappointing as a spectacle but quite practical from the US's perspective, given the situation. And there's enough games left for both teams for this result not to be a disaster for either (hopefully).
