What's the deal in that group? Do they both need to win to go through?
Wat?

If the U.S. just had a midfield, backline and finishers, they'd really have something.

We're past the group stages. Each match is sudden death. The US need to at least equalise before the end of 90 minutes or they're out. I expect them to give it a hell of a good go in the second half, they have a history of extraordinary team spirit.

At this stage everyone's eyes are filled with the inadequacies of their players. I'm sure many Ghanaian fans are just as worried.

They may be worried but ... Ghana just flat out looked better that first half.

Ah crap, I thought we were still in the group stages. Well I'm a happy regardless of who wins then. I was hoping Ghana would survive the group stages because they were the last African team in the running and I was rooting for the USA because of the bad referee calls they had to endure.

So I know this makes me unamerican and whatnot, but I really would like to punch that Donovan guy in the face. I don't even know why. That said, woot.

The US really is the comeback kid in this world cup. Guess that's why you have Clinton in the stands.

Glad he made the penalty. The foul should have been awarded with a red instead of a yellow card. Preventing a clear goal attempt with the goalie being last man.

Donovan is now the all time top scoring American in a World Cup with 5 goals apparently.

5 min till the end of the second half and the US isn't even trying to set up plays. Looks like they're just trying to run out the clock. Ghana seems a tighter team.

I should get back to nature, too. You know, like going to a shop for groceries instead of the computer. Maybe a condo in the woods that doesn't even have a health club or restaurant attached. Buy a car with only two cup holders or something. -Signe

I noticed this too. Then I realised I was running flash 10.0 rather than 10.1. I upgraded and the glitching/hangs went away. YMMV

How on earth do you keep giving up goals with a 2 on 1 defender advantage?

About 5 mins left and they look tired, so very tired.

Hard luck chaps.
I have to say both teams really brought a wonderful element to the tournament. The game was sporting and compelling, football at its finest. Thank you USA, good luck Ghana, you've both been terrific.

Better team won, can't be too unhappy. Plus the Ghanans (Ghananians? Ghanaians? GHANA PEEPS) just look so happy, it's too adorable to not be happy for them.  The main thing I've learned is that this US team just really can't string together 90 whole minutes of decent soccer, and don't even joke about MORE than that.

Ya, I'm not unhappy about the result. I was rooting for the US, but let's face it, Ghana kicked major butt right there. Aren't they like a nobody too?

They are the U21 World Champs, rough around the edges but a good pedigree. Also that was without Essien, so they aren't a soft touch.
Unlucky to the US just ran out of sparkle and that bit of luck.
