U.S. not surrendered to Argentina as did Mexico, which ended up getting four goals in a recital of Messi and Agüero. The Yankees do not fit either one and having a bit of pointing would have brought victory and pride, nothing more (and nothing less) had at stake.

Alfio Basile repeated with the 3-4-3 system that gave him such a good result before the Mexicans and placed on the lawn to nine players from the Spanish League: Abbondanzieri, Gonzalo, Heinze, Zabaleta, Gago, Maxi, Agüero, Banegas and Messi. This is situated in the beam and then fired again and again and Cruz Agüero goal against Howard. But the goal of Everton was showcased again and again. Particularly bitter left the Gardener Cruz after winning three hand in hand followed.

In the second half Coco Basile changed the picture. Zabaleta late to the side for play with a 4-4-2. Almost cost him the match. United States is stretched and stayed with the ball and sometimes, but Abbondanzieri did well their work.
