Say what you want about the USA team, but they do tend to put on a good show at the World Cup. 4 points going into the Germany game is what most people thought was the best we'd do at this point, so even though we should have won that game tonight, we probably should NOT have beat Ghana. 4 points right now is about right given how we've played.
To anyone who has even a half notion of Michael Bradley's importance to this U.S. team, that statement is self-evidently ridiculous.
Bradley has been of huge importance to get the team to the World Cup. But based of his two performances at the World Cup, he is clearly not good enough RIGHT NOW. I'd put Wondolowski in for Bradley and play him upfront with Dempsey and go 4-4-2. Bradley needs to sit.
Sickening. Bradley lazy and careless yet again turns the ball over. Should have scored earlier. Getting tired of looking at him saunter around the pitch like he's got a world class reputation.
We're playing so much better tonight, but of course, one horror mistake by Cameron, and we're losing. If we keep playing like that and manage to contain them, we can get a result from this.
That great goal will be the only thing that game will ever be remembered for though. And the fact that he scored such a beauty, right at the death, only adds to his legacy of greatness.
They really need to allow for a manager's challenge. These teams work too hard too be screwed over by incompetent officiating. Each team should be given the opportunity to make one challenge per match.
I couldn't help but notice the hundreds of empty seats in the Germany-Ghana match. Pathetic that FIFA stated that the attendance was greater than the actual capacity of the stadium. What a shocker that they'd lie.
But if there are unsold tickets, go out into the neighborhoods and give them away free to the locals, FFS!
