US 1 Ghana 2
Once again the referees hold the US back. A questionable call in the first half resulted a Penalty Kick giving Ghana the go-ahead goal.
But to outdo the referees, the US Team played flat in the second half. They looked much like they did in their first game against the Chech. republic.
The US blew a number of set pieces including a Landon Donovan kick from just outside the box. Instead if driving it into the crowd, he lofted it over the scrum and beyond the touch line.
The US passing was again weak and inaccurate.
The hype before the world cup was that this was the best team the US has ever sent. Never believe the hype...
Those of us who saw any of the "friendly" games prior to the cup saw a troubled team.
Time for changes? Who knows. Was this years failure one of coaching or playing or something else?
