I broadly agree with the point made in one of the links, about USA's defense containing Mexico, although in fairness they rode their luck a bit, too, thanks to some poor Mexican finishing and a bit of help from some dubious decisions by the referee. Personally I don't think USA were as bad as some critics are saying, or as good as others are maintaining. The big issue seems to be where their goals will come from, a situation not helped by Klinsmann's apparent falling out with Bocanegra.
Back to the Prem, though, O'Neil getting sacked from Sunderland makes sense in terms of performance, but at this stage of the season? The rumour is he's being replaced by Mark Hughes. Hardly someone I'd associate with boosting morale. It amazes me how Hughes still finds work in the Prem.
