[quote=Anonymous][quote]Shots on goal or conceded don’t mean much. Soccer rankings are notoriously bad. The US in no way dominated this game. US quality of play was poor all tournament. Most US chances were off of set pieces, and Sweden defends those well, so it’s unsurprising that it was 0-0 game that went to the proverbial coin toss that is PKs.

It's hard to believe you are posting in a soccer-specific forum because you clearly have no understanding of the game or did not watch it.  The US, after not playing well in the group stage, absolutely dominated in today's game and was the more dangerous team by any measure.  Their best chances were in the run of play, not off set pieces.  Rodman and Williams toyed with the left defender and there was a clear mismatch there that the US exploited.  Sweden not scoring was not a surprise, as they rarely penetrated the box and had only a single shot 85 minutes into the game.  The US had the great majority of possession and shots, and absent the superb performance by Sweden's keeper the US would have finished this game easily in regulation time.  As much as the US got lucky against Portugal, Sweden was VERY lucky today.

That said, winning requires scoring, and the US has to finish chances.[/quote]
