I have decided to read again the article by Al Bracco about Landon Donovan. I also read my article about not underestimating US Soccer. It has been decided that another article was worth writing after El Salvador and the United States Soccer Team finished their game with a tie.

The United States Soccer Team made the mistake of underestimating the Salvadoran team and paid heavily when Quintanilla scored the first goal of the game in 15 minutes. It appears that the United States Soccer Team piled mistake upon mistake during the game.

It was during the majority of the game that El Salvador was able to dominate being in their country, with a discipline and tenacity that deserves high points.

The price that was paid with complacency almost gave the United States Soccer Team its first major defeat to a team from the American Continent in more than a decade.

El Salvador almost won the game with a goal by Castillo at 72 minutes. Castillo managed to hit the ball with his head into the left side corner of the head. The United States had to act fast to avoid humiliation.

While all appeared lost, Altidore scored the first goal for the US Soccer team at 77 minutes followed by Hejduk at 85 Minutes. The last 5 minutes of this game was exciting with both teams attempting to break the equalizer and win. This was not to be

El Salvador played magnificently without incident until fatigue set in. The US Soccer Team was not disciplined, nor organized until the last twenty minutes. If the USA wants to be a serious contender in the 2010 World Cup, it must not rest on its laurels. It should be looking at the game and the future or all will be lost.
