Crazy, crazy game.

 

That second goal was awesome. Ghana nearly scored a third, but blew it thanks to a bad pass with an offsides call about seven feet in front of the goal.

Dempsey is starting today according to ABC's analysts.

[Balsa]

YES! What a GAME! This is terrific news for the USA.

 

We need to take advantage of this with a win tonight.

[Balsa]

Best news of all, Muntari and Asamoah Gyan will miss the USA match after receiving yellow cards!!!

[AubCubFan]

amazing game by Ghana. I want to see the US win and then the whole group come down to their final games.

Great futbol by ghana

[Balsa]

Honestly, I'm really not sure Ghana played that well, too many offsides, and they literally threw away that goal where he got called offsides 10 feet in front of the goal.

 

If Ghana were playing even a little bit better it would have been 4-0. Or if Cech hadn't been playing as well.

Dempsey is starting today according to ABC's analysts.

 

i believe the lineup harkes listed was:

D: dolo-gooch-pope-boca

M: dempsey-mastro-reyna-donovan-convey

F: mcbride

 

that could go as a 4-4-2 or a 4-5-1.

i like the defence. happy with boca and especially dempsey being in. but how the HELL do you not start johnson?! we had better win, or i think that will come back to bite bruce in the butt.

[Balsa]

I thought we were slated to start Johnson for sure?

 

Maybe he's gonna be a boost substitution?

yeah, I've gotta think Johnson could be a very quick sub if we aren't attacking well.

lets hope bruce is smarter than all of us...

Get home exactly at 1:30 to find the cable out. Now the cable is back and the game isn't on.

 

Good thing I wasn't going to rely on my VCR for this one.

[Jon]

Is the video slightly out of sync with the audio for anyone else?

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Donovan looked like he was going to kill someone during the National Anthem.

 

I'm so pumped.

[brinoch]

Sounds like a great crowd for the US. Let's get it on!!

I'm so pumped.

Missed it, but last game he was swaying back and forth until the camera got on him. Then he just froze.

clint looked like he was gonna hit the italians rather than shake their hands.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

I count 4 dives in 2:20 thus far

[soccer10k]

I really just want the US to play better than they did. Obviously I would prefer for them to win, but losing to Italy is nothing to be ashamed about. I want to see the US play like they are capable of playing.

[Outshined_One]

Cripes, whoever this guy paired with Dave O'Brien is won't stop talking about how wonderful a job the refs are doing. He's even worse than Hubie Brown.

[Jon]

Man. What a chance that was.

[Marco4]

I'm very impressed so far, and predict bad things for Totti.

[Jazz]

WOOT GHANA WON

WOOT TOTTI Yellowcard

now i want some results here

 

WIDE, DAMNT so close

[Jon]

This is a completely different team, partly because of Dempsey.

[Outshined_One]

hahahahaha, the US fans are bringing out an old favorite.

[Jon]

Crap...
