What a close game! US won leading a single point from the overtime. Turkey fought hard and it's really amazing that they almost won this, but luckily US snatched it. Watching this game will give other competitive teams to be inspired and play their very best.
Team US needs to add more with their defensive strategy, facing bigger players with shooting abilities will be a big concern to work out.
So far this is the most intense game in this world cup. All I can see these past few days is always a blown out game especially for the team I rooted most. I think US will have a hard time this world cup don't you think? I mean, don't get me wrong they are all great players that are playing in the NBA but it would be still a different story if NBA superstars will play the world cup. But, that shouldn't be the case, we should support those who are willing to play. Now it's time for me to bandwagon this since PH has been out of the game lol. Let's go USA!
USA doesn't seem to play with prudence.
We are still on the stages round when misktaes can be forgiven.
But cosindering a fact that more tough games are about to come, USA will not have the same luck. If this bad game had happened against Serbia or Spain then USA would have lost.
Americans always play differently in the regular part, where there is a possibility of error correction, and in the knockout phase where mistakes are not forgiven.
Even in the NBA league, many clubs that are bad in the regular season start playing great in the playoffs.
Their team has a lot of new players playing together for the first time, and they need time to play better and get to know each other better.
Despite today's poor match, they are still the first gold favorites.
