go USA!Captain Pants
Killed by a goddamned Dredgeling
I apologize if I missed it when reading the first post or if a link has been posted a million times in this thread, but is there anywhere online that will be streaming the game? The one TV in my house that has cable hooked up to it is occupied.

Ghana keeps coming back with that quick counter and the USA isn't doing a damn thing :\ Sheer luck it isn't 0-2 yet.

Bunker Bob getting the axe yet?
As I said in the other thread, how could Bradley go 3 games (now 4) with letting the other team score within the first 10 minutes? I think after the second game the USMNT would be practicing how to defend goals in the first 20 minutes of a game. Combine that with poor personel decisions and the US didn't deserve to go on.
I really don't think Bradley will be back in 2014 unless we crush Brazil in a friendly.

Wow.
What an emotional game that was. I was literally on the edge of my seat the entire match. Hats off to Ghana for outplaying us. We were completely dominated in the first half, and we're honestly lucky that we went into halftime down only one goal. And I can't believe we conceded yet another early goal. Why is it that we can't play proper defense in the first 15 minutes?
What kills me isn't the fact that we lost; it's the fact that we had so many great opportunities to score, but just couldn't capitalize. We need to start finishing those great goal-scoring chances. Again, hats off to the Ghanaian team for the way they played in the first 90 minutes.
Having said all that, fuck Ghana and their fake injuries late in the game. Also, fuck the referee for allowing that to go on.
Still, I'm extremely proud of the way this team played in the 2010 World Cup. We got an impressive draw against England, we had a fantastic comeback against Slovenia, and we had one of the most dramatic goals in U.S. soccer history against Algeria. This loss is very disappointing, but at the end of the day, this team can walk away with their heads held high. We made the round of 16, which is more than most people expected.
Congrats, team U.S. We're proud of you.

good job team USA, played hard, and played with heart. nothing to be ashamed of. thanks for a great showing!
Bocanegra looked like he was staring up at the sky well after the ball had come down. Clark and Howard were stoned on the first goal and he was stoned on the second. Talk about giving away a game. I don't even know who to cheer for anymore. Don't like diving so that eliminates all the Euro teams, hated Ghana well before this game and they certainly didn't change my mind with some of their shit today. I do have a Messi jersey and some shirts from back in 2006 so go Argentina I guess even though Maradona is a clown.daoster said:

It was was an entertaining game. I'm proud of the team even with today's performance. The faking and delaying disgusted me during the overtime though. I hope Ghana gets crushed.
Yeah, it was ridiculous. It was so blatant too--they can't even dive well, and whenever they got up all the Ghana players had this dumb fucking grin on their faces.sazabirules said:

I was so pissed off when that happened. Also the dude taking the corner kick and then switching with another guy walking as slow as possible. What kind of bullshit is that? I thought soccer players would have some integrity.

the dives in this game were nothing compared to the dives in other games.
it was quite tame IMO. and the ref was the 2nd best ref so far of the tourney .
and you had worst shit going on yesterday

Even though Ghana's antics were frustrating to watch at the end I can't say I'm angry with them, it happens on every team because it's a unfortunate staple of the game itself when nobody attempts to stamp it out. It'd be nice to be able to say the US played as fairly as they could but they certainly did some diving and injury faking of their own. Somehow I don't think it'll ever go away.

I cannot believe I have to bring this up again. If you have resigned to a fate that means that somebody had to take a yellow, then why would you not want DeMerit to do it? As far as I remember, DeMerit did not have any cards. I would rather have Bocanegra than DeMerit ANY day.

While I'm gutted we didn't put away our chances against Ghana to make it to the Quarterfinals, I'm still pumped for our guys. To finish 1st in the group above England is something to hang your hat on.
However, it's obvious we are a flawed team with flashes of brilliance but unable to put away key chances while suffering from defensive lapses early.
All in all, I still gotta give some love to the team. Here's hoping we can take the 2011 Gold Cup, make a run at the 2013 Confed Cup, and get ready to win our WQ qualifying group over Mexico

On the positive side, this World Cup has made me want to purchase my first Fifa game since 2008. What version should I get, 2010 or the World Cup edition. Does the World Cup edition have the career and manager modes that are present in 2010? WHICH IS BETTER? HALP

Ghana definitely wanted the win more than the US. We got that far by playing above our talent level and it was just a matter of time until we met someone with more will than us
Crisis said:
How can you be sure it wouldn't happen the other way round when they didn't win.:lol Ghana played very well and only started wasting time during the end of OT. If the US was in the same position Ghana was they'd do the exact same thing. They may have even been worse. And you're delusional if you truly think otherwise.
And the way Ghana wasted time is absolutely nothing compared to most soccer teams. Watch an Italy or a Portugal game and see the way they play when they are winning. Don't start hating a team because you're butthurt your team lost. Because at the end of the day that's what it ultimately boils down to.
