France 1 – USA 0

United States National Team, USA soccer, us soccer players

A 72nd minute goal from Loic Remy was all France needed for a 1-0 win over the United States at Stade de France on Friday.  USA goalkeeper Tim Howard did a lot of work to keep the score manageable, with France holding a decisive lead in shots taken and shots on goal.  Hugo Lloris kept the clean sheet for France.

“From a technical perspective, the shape, working, and really finding a rhythm was good,” US coach Jurgen Klinsmann said. “The real piece that was missing was scoring a goal. I told them at halftime ‘guys, you can absolutely compete here. You can go for a win.’ Obviously it was difficult after their goal. In these types of games, if you make one or two mistakes you get punished. It was still impressive how they came back. They pushed forward and were getting close. We made life very, very difficult for France, and they realized after 30 minutes there is a team that has a go at them. Obviously you want to score a couple of goals sooner or later, so I wish there was one or two.”
