AL KHOR, Qatar (Reuters) - United States coach Gregg Berhalter admitted his team need to be more clinical if they are to stand a chance of reaching the knockout stage at the World Cup after they produced a lively display against England on Friday but ultimately fired blanks.

The U.S. dominated play for long periods but were unable to convert a flurry of first-half chances and played out a second straight draw, after Monday's 1-1 stalemate with Wales.

"The final product still could be better... I'm overall pleased with the performance of the group, most importantly the belief of this group because that never wavered," Berhalter told reporters. "We played with a ton of spirit but we're going to have to be up for it . We want a chance to advance... We know it's going to be a difficult game, and I'm looking forward to the opportunity."

England, who crushed Iran 6-2 in their group opener, were outplayed by the vibrant albeit inexperienced Americans, who returned to the World Cup stage after eight years, and were loudly jeered by their supporters at the final whistle.
