AL KHOR, Qatar — Soccer isn’t always about winning and losing. Sometimes it’s about how you play the game.
Take Friday’s World Cup match between the United States and England, the No. 5 team in the world. Not so long ago, that would have been one the U.S. had all but conceded before kickoff.
Not anymore. On this night, in a game that ended in a scoreless tie, it was the Americans who were in control. They outfought the English and outshot them, outhustled and outmuscled them.
