Top 10 takeaways from the US-England Tie

10) The top five US players were all Tim Howard

9) Clint Dempsey is deadly from 25 yards away, on shots that bounce twice

8) If you aren't rooting for the UK and don't hate Wayne Rooney, you may not have a pulse

7) A 1-1 tie doesn't really live up to the hype

6) If Robert Green had been the goaltender for a Latin American country, he'd already be dead

5) People doing the Tomahawk Chop, The Wave or beating Thundersticks think those South African vuvuzela horns are annoying

4) The US might want to try not falling behind right away for once

3) If you thought that vast stretches of the game were boring, you clearly do not know enough about the game, and should feel very, very bad about yourself

2) British Fan was so depressed by this, he got drunk, ate bad food and engaged in brawling, but without joy

1) The rules say 1-1 is a tie, but you'll forgive the US for thinking it was a win, and the UK for thinking it was a loss
