Gregg Berhalter’s young team fought hard but ultimately folded under late pressure to tie 1-1 against a tenacious Wales team
f there’s a risk to having the second-youngest squad at the 2022 World Cup, Team USA showed why at Doha’s Ahmad Bin Ali Stadium on Monday night, when Gregg Berhalter’s team fought hard but ultimately folded under late pressure to tie 1-1 against a tenacious Wales team.
Following England’s emphatic 6-2 victory against Iran earlier in the day, it was important that the U.S. got something against Wales, and the main objective for both teams was to avoid defeat. Following their own game, England coach Gareth Southgate said that the U.S. “would be coming for us full throttle.”
Wales gave Belgium and Netherlands a torrid time in recent European Nations League encounters with a fearless approach, and they grew into the game after falling behind. Still, they were lost for ideas early on, squandering possessions too cheaply as they sought to get the ball to Bale, their captain and talisman. Their best chance was a header from defender Chris Mepham that went wide just on the stroke of half-time.
