We played our control and counter, but were not as good in possession this match as it turned into a slugfest with the two teams combining for 19 shots on target. To be honest, Howard looked horrible on the first goal, taking a horrible angle, but he made some big saves later, though none on the league of Costa Rica's Navas, who just stoned Jozy Altidore on 4 clear chances
