ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[UMFan83]

Dammit!!!hahhh terrific change to tie it up

[Jon]

Who was asking about Davies?

[Guest]

That was a golden opportunity.

[USSoccer]

If we could just wake up...hopefully our fitness advantage helps us here.

 

Findley...dammit.

[UMFan83]

That was a golden opportunity.

 

Yeah that could have (obviously) changed the entire game around. We look slow and tentative so far, then that chance gets gifted to us and we cant convert.

[Butterscup1679666578]

our back line is so poor

[USSoccer]

Come on boys...

[Billy_Buck]

Time to take advantage. We need it.

[Jon]

Some decent passing would be nice.

[USSoccer]

The way this is shaping up, I want Torres in the game at some point for Findley, Clint up front...

[Butterscup1679666578]

sink this corner

[UMFan83]

Jozy just looks off today

[USSoccer]

Classic Findley...dribble to the end line, then fall over.

[E.J.]

Jozy just looks off today

 

Jozy is playing? I haven't seen him the whole match so far.

[UMFan83]

I hate Ghana

[Billy_Buck]

Boy, Ghana really takes on anyone carrying the ball. Strong indeed.

[UMFan83]

Man it would suck to lose this. Such a good opportunity to make some noise in this tournament. I'm not saying this is a game we should win, but it's not like 94 when we played Brazil. It's closer to 02 when we played Mexico.

[USSoccer]

Okay, that was just about as badly as we could play and we're down 1-0...

 

Clint looks on today, at least. He's the only US player showing something today.

 

Ghana's team shape is piss poor. There have been openings to exploit. They've dominated possession because we're playing like jackasses. We're going to get opportunities today. We have to capitalize and watch the counter.

[USSoccer]

We might see 'Dolo come off too at some point, since he's on a yellow. We can't afford to go down to 10 against these guys.

 

I still think this goes PK's

[Butterscup1679666578]

US wins 3-1. They'll tie it up no more than 5 minutes into the second half.

On a related note, we got confirmation that the yellow card rules have changed for the Cup since Cherudolo would miss the quarterfinal.

the way things are looking, the entire team will miss the quarters

[USSoccer]

Benny on, Findley off. 4-5-1 morphing into 4-3-3
