Yeah, I'd definitely say American teams have typically been lacking in the fluency/creativity that you need to make something out of nothing. They don't take a backseat to that many teams athletically.
The first goal we scored against Portugal (forget who scored it, was one of the German-born players) was very atypical for an American goal in that it was an audacious attempt from outside the box rather than someone making the "easy play" by trying to cross it into the center.
