USA vs. Ghana - June 16, 2014 - Natal, Brazil

Ghana has effectively knocked the US out of the last two world cups. Will today be USA's turn for revenge?

Today's the day
This game makes or breaks our chances of getting out of the group imo
Nothing less than a win

Ghana has more quality imo. Dempsey is your best player and he is getting old. Kevin Prince Boateng, Gyan, and Asamoah are getting into their prime and finished strongly last world cup. You'd be lucky with a draw.

Boateng and Essien not starting :thumbsup:

Also looks like Bedoya starting over Zusi at RM for USA

Back line looked poor.

We could not keep possession to save our life which allowed Ghana to have so many chances.

Oh my god. Brooks saved us with that goal.



On another note. What is with all the guys tweaking their hamstrings? Hopefully Altidore will be okay.

Did anyone else think Beasley was shaky at LB?

Yes and it quite surprised me... I don't think it's enough to warrant a Timmy Chandler start however.

Arguable.

Ghana really should have taken more of their changes. I don't think we deserved to win this game.. Brooks did most definitely keep our knockout stage hopes alive. I think that neither Wondo nor Johannsson will be able to hold the line as well as Altidore (even if he's not doing it that well), so we really have to hope that the injury to Altidore doesn't need more than a couple days of rest. It was really sad to watch the team fall back into a defensive hole once that first goal was scored.
