World Cup Post: US vs. Ghana

Congrats to Ghana on their victory over our comeback kings. Great defense and good ball control. Though I'd like to say that after scoring the winner in extra time, Ghana's team suddenly got hit with a monumental amount of "injuries" and lethargy. While its all perfectly legal and its part of soccer, I think Ghana was deeply unsportsmanlike. It's one thing to get tripped and fake a hurt knee. It's another to slip, fall and then lie there as one Ghanian player did, taking up at least two minutes of play time. That's was just wrong and the ref should done something. Not saying we got robbed like we did against Slovenia AND against Algeria, but its another thing FIFA needs to work on.

Still, bitching aside, way to go Ghana.

The U.S. lost it on the transitions. Almost every goal this WC was from a sluggish transition to defense-- especially those goals in the first minutes of the game. Bad defending...

And yeah, I had enough of the Ghana players screaming in pain on the ground after they would just fall over for no reason. At least they weren't slapping the other players like the South African team. Geez...
