Released Watford defender Jay DeMerit has explained how the USA blunted the threat of England striker Wayne Rooney.
The Manchester United star turned in a low key performance for the 1-1 draw on Saturday.
"If you let a player of Rooney's calibre turn and run at you, you are going to have a long day," DeMerit said.
"We knew negating as much space as we could in front of him, so he couldn't do that, would give us the best chance."
