    Beasley and Bradley haven't looked very good. After that first goal US didnt look very aggressive at all. Bedoya should have passed the ball to AJ instead of taking that shot.

    Too much possession by Ghana and not enough ball control in the midfield for the US. Can't play defense and quick counter-attacks all night. We need more possession!!

    Did Dempsey start the world cup with a yellow card? Why is he wearing that sleeve?

    Unfortunate about Altidore but I love how team US is looking. Ghana are way way better than they're being given credit for by anyone outside Africa, and winning this game would be a great step to the next round for you guys. I think both these teams can beat Portugal.

    Answer please! I see one on a Ghana player too. I've only seen him wear blue and red sleeves.

    I can't seem to get into this squad. Its nothing but a fortified mls team. Terrible passing, no speed, no defense, can't even dribble...

    I wish we would attack a little more. Obviously we want to play a little conservative and keep our Defense back (see the Switzerland/Ecuador game) but this is getting nerve-racking to say the least.

    Worse cast scenario is happening. We are playing conservative and giving up wide open shots at the same time. Wide open runs. It's almost embarrassing to be honest.

    USA playing very meek. No possession. Waiting for time to run out rather than defending well and attacking.

    Howard saving our ass so far. Stop this conservative bull****. Get the ball into Ghana's side and kick it back and forth at mid field if your play is to play conservative.

    Doesn't make any sense. Klinsmann showing zero faith in his attack. Ghana are pushing forward cause a loss here is killer, US should be taking advantage of that a bit more.
