    Way to take it literally. One team dominated, if the game were to played 10 times, you would have Ghana win 7-8 times. You will see in the Portugal game tomorrow that you can't get that lucky twice. The US has a very inferior team relative to the others in the group.

    We need Bosnia to win against Nigeria...a tie doesnt guarantee that destiny is in our own hands.

    You sound very butthurt that Ghana might be eliminated soon.
    That's why the game is played dude. Ghana dominated? You don't dominate in a loss.

    It's pretty common in football, actually. Losing doesn't mean you didn't dominate the game, in this sport one goal is deciding everything, no matter how lucky it was.

    I'm not butt hurt about Ghana because I don't expect Ghana to be eliminated. It will be in their own hands. I fully expect Portugal to beat the US, the US can't really play for a draw because they play Germany after tomorrow's game.

    This is such a fun match.

    Bosnia got robbed on that bad offside call.

    How is there not a review system in futbol? There's not enough scoring to really affect the flow of the game. Having a goal wiped away like that is ludicrous.

    So what, you win a moral victory? Scoreboard.

    Who is discussing "victory" or "Scoreboard" here? Domination is the word you need to look up.

    True, but it just rubs me off the wrong way when ChrisBosh over there is talking about how the US sucks, gave Ghana no real trouble, and is guaranteed to lose against Portugal.
    I just don't see the merit of bragging about dominating after a loss and it comes off rather sour to be honest.

    We apparently don't even control our destinies anymore either. A US win against Portugal, however unlikely, would still mean Ghana gets knocked out.

    you little short armed dinosaur or bird, whatever you are!:p nice way of changing my words. I said "that's how it looks." because germany just looked lazy with their aerial attacks, misplaced balls that had nothing to do with ghana's defense. Ghana plays fast and hard everyone knows that. They remind me of the 1990s Cameroon squads.

    And yes I think U.S will take care of Portugal.

    Good game but Bosnia got robbed by the two linesmen.

    One of them called it offside when it wasnt on a Bosnian goal. It wasnt even close. I dont know what the linesman was looking at.

    On the other end, Bosnian defender got fouled which resulted in a Nigerian goal. The ref put the whistle in his mouth and was ready to blow it but then waited for confirmation from the linesman who had a clear view. Both waited for the other to call it. Neither did.

    The offside call was wrong. I also first thought it was a foul before the Nigeria goal, but after having watched the scene a few times, I don't think it was one.
