Tactically the US has a clear system and plan entering each match. Sometimes it doesn't work but when people panicked after the losses to England and Spain the reality was the manager was trying to set the tactical structure while Capello and England were playing their best XI. Now comparing the fortunes of both nations you realize the US used that friendly for the right purpose while England was simply wasting the match in order to get a result so the papers could beat up on the "yanks."
It has now proven that the US entered those summer friendlies with the right philosophy knowing they needed at least a point out of Guatemala City. Getting three means the US is virtually qualified to the next round.
