USA were definitely the better team, with their effective midfield making the difference.
The ball will advance through midfield, with wide players providing passing options. Circulation seems rather easy in tight spaces and their players are confident enough and technically adequate to keep / run with the ball if needed. None of the above is self-evident, it reflects Berhalter's work: The cohesion is there, they're mobile, well drilled and well organized, and they can function in a 4-3-3 or a 4-4-2. Haven't read posts, but for people impressed with Tyler, they obviously haven't watched him at Liepsig. Good, reliable player (who can operate on a number of positions on the pitch). Calmness in terms of decision making when arriving in the final third / box is what they missed, and they definitely can expect more from Pulisic (a matter of form) -plus Berhalter should have introduced subs earlier so as to maintain intensity and sharpness...
As for England: Sterling's and Saka's explosiveness / penetration ability and Kane's hold up play, inteligence and finishing will always present danger for opposition. But for the team to function in that structure, England's attacking strategy needs performances from both Bellingham and Mount. Then the fullbacks will get into the equation as well, and the puzzle will seem more complete. These two (Bellingham, Mount) underperformed. Sterling and Saka will eventually leave the pitch, so will Jude. The manager could have gone for Phil, could have gone for Gallagher. He chose Henderson, the most conservative option. Southgate was scared shit from what he had already witnessed, also obviously thinking that a draw would 99% secure England's qualification to the next round...
US were the team asking questions till the end, enjoying more possession as well as more final attempts. Which would most probably have been the reason had they lost: They obviously needed the win more so would take more risks. Had Kane scored with that header in injury time, it would have been unfair. England hardly deserved a draw from this match -and I will assume that the vast majority of English fans agrees with that statement...
Needless to say, final matchday of Group B is bound to be dramatical, one way or the other...
