In response to "They remembered who they were at halftime and so did Brazil -- nm" by amoxy

Pretty much.

In the second half the US seemed content to basically "dump and chase" on offense, and play a prevent defense on their half of the field. Brazil came out in the second with a sense of purpose and just overwhelmed the US team. Can't really fault the US, it seemed a pretty solid strategy, but the inability to mount a consistant offensive attack doomed them.

Brazil looked concerned / pressing after the first US goal, all the way until a couple minutes left in the first. They looked waaay more composed after coming out in the second half.
