RECRUITING WINS CHAMPIONSHIPS

[Hairyducked Idiot]

If I knew any Ghana fans, I would pretend that we dominated the entire game and give them absolutely no credit.

Haha this made me laugh

Jones is like a crafty lefty out there, or the old dude at the pick up hoops game.

Zusi must start against Portugal.

5 minutes of injury time is BS. Should be 3 max.

RECRUITING WINS CHAMPIONSHIPS

 

Heh.

[USSoccer]

2 more minutes.

[mul21]

Do we have somebody who can manage to not fall down every time they have the ball like Johansen?

[UMFan83]

Would rather have seen a 4-0 victory but I'll take a 2-1 reversal of the last 2 games

 

USA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[USSoccer]

Totally undeserved, but I'll [expletive] take it.

SUCK IT GHANA

 

We played like trash and yet we're likely a better performance against short-handed Portugal from clinching(or near-clinching) after 2.

I thought we bossed them 4 years ago; this result evens that out immensely.

 

Jones was great. Like, literally, absolutely great. He was everywhere.

Too mentally drained for analysis. Thank you soccer for breaking off some karma for us.

Should be pointed out, John Brooks has made multiple Bundesliga teams of the week for a reason. He's young and inconsistent but he's an elite talent.

Jones was amazing. Probably the best player today.

Happy, confused, and scared

Yep. By a decent margin I'd say. Beckerman and Bradley didn't do much at all. Our midfield was largely overrun so I can't fault Jozy/Deuce/Aron too much for not having much of an impact. They weren't getting service at all.

 

But Jones was all over the place.

Evens out for games like that, Germany 1 USA 0 and Slovenia 2 USA 2. Games where we deserved a win or a result but didn't get one. Sometimes you win games like this and I'm glad we finally got one rather than the other way around.

Damn it all, I taped the game since I was coaching my son's u8 game tonight, and someone literally leaves me a voicemail of "Call me back right away. Oh, btw, the USA just won, oops, hope you weren't recording that."

I have been watching the Brooks goal over and over for like 10 minutes: http://www.espnfc.us/video/highlights/114/video/1887575/brooks-stuns-ghana-with-go-ahead-header

An underrated benefit of Mycroft being so stingy with cards, none for the US means it'll be a lot tougher for yellows to come back to bite anybody in later games.

[wolf stansson]

Tim Howard: too many touches.

 

@Ben_Jata: #USA Touches/Pass %

 

Howard 61/63%

Beasley 60/74%

Cameron 53/55%

Bradley 52/81%

Jones 50/67%

Johnson 44/73%

Dempsey 40/62%

Beckerman 39/85%

Four Ghana defenders simultaneously raise their hands in a confused gesture, as if they aren't sure what it means when the ball goes in the net.
