USA Ties England at the World Cup: A Moral Victory?

Yesterday, the USA surprised everyone (except maybe the USA team players) by tying England 1-1 in the World Cup. The USA team was definitely the underdog. England scored in the first few minutes, a very nice goal. It didn't look good for the the American boys. In the second half, team USA got lucky and scored a goal that should have easily been stopped by the England goal keeper. So the game was tied. I think that goal gave the US team a little more confidence, and they had several good shots on goal in the rest of the game. With only a few minutes remaining, they had a break away play and a shot on goal which the England goalkeeper deflected and it hit the post and bounced out. If the ball had hit the post about an inch more to the right, it would have gone into the net and the USA team might have come away with a 2-1 victory. But it didn't, and game end tied. To me, it was a promising start to the World Cup for team USA, and a disappointing start for England.
