3) Clint Dempsey fluffs his lines
The Seattle Sounders star led the line for the Americans but spurned a host of gilt-edged chances that could’ve otherwise painted a different picture to the game.
Dempsey was on the receiving end of an impeccable corner kick from 25-yards out, but his attempt was cleared off the line by David Ospina. Minutes later, the 33-year-old stepped up to take a free-kick but the Arsenal custodian was there to deny him again.
Most of the home nation's clear-cut chances fell to the USA skipper but he simply lacked the cutting edge to put it into the back of the net. The US captain is touted to be one of the key players for the hosts in their quest for their first major title since the 2013 Gold Cup, but Dempsey let his side down on that account today.
