I think it says that the U.S. did a fantastic job and possibly could have gone further with a little luck.
Had that guys hand not got in the way of the one goal (I'll agree it may have not been a handball, but geez), the lob when they caught the German goalie too far out, or the late header that missed by about 1/2 a foot.
Anyway, they proved themselves a solid team that won't be dominated. The Germans felt the need to guard their one point rather than playing aggressively.
All in all it was a good game. Those yellow cards sure where coming out pretty steadily eh?
