Klinsy is a glorious ****. I love him.Klinsman - Besler should be fine. Clint needs to shake it off - "I broke mine 3-4 times"

I don't know a deserve, but it wasn't like Ghana was doing a whole lot with their possession either. They'd get to 5 yards outside our box and lacked the ability to really break us down. Whatever though, it's a fantastic 3 points that we don't have to give back.I thought they deserved it - did not give up many good chances, and took their own chances well.Ghana had possession 59-41. For a lot of the second half, our offense was missing in action. Poor passing, nothing much developing.
There is no way the USA deserved to win this game. But, a couple of brilliant plays can make up for a lot of mediocrity. Soccer is like that. And the chances have gone the other way for the US, too.
I'll take the moral defeat, and rejoice in the undeserved victory!
Agree with, errr, Christo.Hell, no.We won. England lost. 2014 World Cup is a success.
(we hate them, right?)
No way a broken nose keeps Clint out.Klinsman - Besler should be fine. Clint needs to shake it off - "I broke mine 3-4 times"
This is an interesting thought. Bacon looked uncomfortable in the roll.Assuming Jozy is done I'd like to see Dempsey up top and Mix out there in the other "forward" spot.
Love this.Klinsman - Besler should be fine. Clint needs to shake it off - "I broke mine 3-4 times"
Nothing says we need to play a player in that role, particularly if those are the best choices.You get that there are different kinds of forwards, right? Bacon is a forward, but he's not a hold-up forward. It's like asking Messi to do the same things as Benzema.JK kept calling LD a forwardThe guys who might have a case for being unfairly left off because they could play Jozys role are Eddie Johnson or Terrence Boyd.Landon Donovan: happy or sad to see JA get hurt?Nope.It's time for your favorite game show "HELP AN IDIOT!"
Can the US sub in another player in the event of injury that is not currently on the roster?
thanks bud. Also, someone kicking my nose like Dempseys would suck a lot.Dude, it's fine to have questions. It's like football. Two guys might be wide receivers, but a deep guy and a possession guy play different roles.

Dempsey's eyes did not look good. He got his bell run pretty bad there.RulesKlinsy is a glorious ****. I love him.Klinsman - Besler should be fine. Clint needs to shake it off - "I broke mine 3-4 times"
He said he understood the 1st half - no idea where the 2nd half minutes came from10 for the game.JK - questioning 5 extra minutes
I agree with him. Second half should have been 3 minute at most to cover the subs.He said he understood the 1st half - no idea where the 2nd half minutes came from10 for the game.JK - questioning 5 extra minutes
They don't concussion test, do they? Agree he got rocked.Dempsey's eyes did not look good. He got his bell run pretty bad there.RulesKlinsy is a glorious ****. I love him.Klinsman - Besler should be fine. Clint needs to shake it off - "I broke mine 3-4 times"

MLS does (basically the Twellman rule). I am unsure what the rules are for FIFA.They don't concussion test, do they? Agree he got rocked.Dempsey's eyes did not look good.

The problem with that kind of thinking is that by logic, the winning team ALWAYS played better. Well, look at the scoreboard.Not sure I agree. Sure, the gave up a lot of possession. But Ghana didn't really do a lot with it.Ghana had possession 59-41. For a lot of the second half, our offense was missing in action. Poor passing, nothing much developing.

We have been saying from about 30 seconds after the draw in December that if the US got a good result against Ghana, that the Portugal game had a chance to set some really high TV ratings numbers.Sunday June 22nd @ 6:00 PM EDT

Bradley decided that instead of putting his stamp as the best US player alive to have his worst game in years.Anything exciting happen tonight?
word upSuch a great outcome for us.
We're beating Ghana tonight and advancing. #### this group.
I don't think anyone disagrees with the premise that a losing team can play better - just in this case, Ghana was not demonstrably better. Having possession, and taking long-range shots are not truly indicative of playing better. The US bunkered, and generally defended well, and created a few scoring chances on their own. Ghana had 8 shots on goal to the US 7.The problem with that kind of thinking is that by logic, the winning team ALWAYS played better. Well, look at the scoreboard.Not sure I agree. Sure, the gave up a lot of possession. But Ghana didn't really do a lot with it.Ghana had possession 59-41. For a lot of the second half, our offense was missing in action.

But I don't agree that the winning team ALWAYS played better. They were perhaps, not quite as lucky.
You didn't say "played better" you said "deserved to win." Those are two different things.The problem with that kind of thinking is that by logic, the winning team ALWAYS played better.

This post is the world cup in an essence.So at the 41' mark my ####### power goes out. I leave the wife and kids and head to Taco Mac. Great scene - place was packed with lots of US kits. The waitress kept commenting how crazy busy it was like she was shocked. Everyone seemed to expect that Ghana goal. When it went in it seemed like Ghana would get another for sure. When Brooks scored the place went nuts - so much fun. I left the gal a 50% tip with a big "GO USA" on it since she seemed to be clueless as to why people were so excited.
Now to go have some celebratory Scooby Manhattans.
So is this Bradley dude the quarterback?Bradley decided that instead of putting his stamp as the best US player alive to have his worst game in years.Anything exciting happen tonight?
Can't believe we made it an entire game with no cards.I continue to be impressed with JJ. Not ready to break out #1Fan alias for him but you can tell how much he wants this as his last chance at the big dance with him being so calm (not his strong suit) in situations he would normally take dumb yellows for.

He is arguably the best two way player in US history and has been the best US player for a while now.So is this Bradley dude the quarterback?Bradley decided that instead of putting his stamp as the best US player alive to have his worst game in years.Anything exciting happen tonight?
The injury to Jozy is basically a suspension sadly. :(Can't believe we made it an entire game with no cards.I continue to be impressed with JJ. Not ready to break out #1Fan alias for him but you can tell how much he wants this as his last chance at the big dance with him being so calm (not his strong suit) in situations he would normally take dumb yellows for.
He was amazing today. I think the addition of Beckerman there has relieved some of the stress on him as the cover for the back four. He is free to track guys and the ball down and it's giving him confidence.I continue to be impressed with JJ. Not ready to break out #1Fan alias for him but you can tell how much he wants this as his last chance at the big dance with him being so calm (not his strong suit) in situations he would normally take dumb yellows for.
He acknowledged after the game he needs to play better.Easily the worst game I can remember for Bradley in a US kit. No clue what was up with that.
True - but it also means that everyone (read: JJ) can still be aggressive against Portugal without having to worry about missing the Germany game.The injury to Jozy is basically a suspension sadly. :(Can't believe we made it an entire game with no cards.I continue to be impressed with JJ.
