The United States national team drew 1-1 with Wales on Monday afternoon in the World Cup opener for both nations. It was a disappointing result for the United States, as they opened the tournament with a strong first half that was near dominant.
Former United States national team defender Alexi Lalas weighed in on the result and what it means for the group’s chances to qualify for the knockout rounds.
Lalas, a former college standout at Rutgers, attended the 1990 World Cup in Italy as a fan. He was a part of two World Cup rosters for the United States in 1994 and 1998. The central defender parlayed an outstanding 1994 World Cup into a deal with Padova, making him the first American to play in Serie A.
Now a commentator with FoxSports, Lalas was frustrated at the United States’ inability to get a win against Wales.
