Because that team was older, overrated and full of guys in dreadful form, and it still took a questionable PK call and some bad luck to lose 2-1. We have Donovan and Dempsey and Howard in prime. Mikey in fantastic form and Jozy looking better with each game. Dolo and Demerit looking good, and this team has something about them. Full credit to Bob Bradley. No matter what happens, his 4 years have been a fantastic success. He rebuilt the midfield post 2006 and looked at everyone in the pool, practically. Nothing's guaranteed, and Ghana will have the whole continent behind them, but on paper, we should win this game. They are a more athletic Algeria. Not to mention Michael Essien is injured.
