That field in Utah looked like it was in absolutely outstanding condition last night. I don't recall seeing any Real Salt Lake games on TV and so I hadn't seen that stadium before. Glad the setting sun didn't appear to cause any problems given the amount of glare that seemed apparent on TV.
I thought the same as TigerFan, the US in many ways dominated the game far more than the statistics can show.
Also important—I believe none of the guys who were playing with a yellow card received a second one, so no suspensions. The next game may be a nasty affair. The Costa Ricans are still in a rage about losing in that snowstorm earlier this year (though FIFA were 100% correct in rejecting the protest because the Costa Ricans didn't follow the proper procedure for lodging a protest). The game is down there and it's not exactly a great place to be the visiting team even under the best of conditions. Maybe the US players should show up wearing football helmets as protection against the batteries.
