Wow! Ghana went up 2-1 in the early minutes of extra time. The U.S. team used some substitutions early so could not put fresh legs on the field when they needed too. In the end, the Americans appeared to run out of gas, and the Ghanan's were able to play keep-away and hold on for the win. Tough match, fairly played .. and the better team won.
I wonder what Team USA will look like in 4 years, with Landon Donovan and other players being 28 years-old now. Ah well ...
Now I have to figure out what teams of the remaining clubs I want to follow for the rest of this tournament. Sorry fellows, but after eliminating my team two World Cups in a row, it won't be Ghana.
