usa!

 

[Sand]

Wow - didn't think they were recovering from that. Zusi with the perfect corner service.

Zusi = super sub.

 

[Norman Paperman]

Both teams looked exhausted out there

 

[bierfiend]

Awesome!!!

 

[Moe.]

No chance Bradley plays like that again, right?

[Evilgrin 72]

Klinsmann looks as happy as I was when I boned 2 chicks an hour after crapping my pants in public.

 

[Moe.]

Right?

 

[Worm]

The win feels so good. On to Portugal!

 

[17seconds]

So Bradley is a good soccer player? All I saw him do was jog around for 90+ minutes

 

[Dinsy Ejotuz]

Damn... such an odd game to win. Nice to be on the right side of one of these.

 

[QuizGuy66]

Suck It Witch Doctor!!!!

[DA RAIDERS]

JOHN F'IN BROOKS!!!!!!!!

'MURICA!!!!

 

[Bucky86]

I'd like to personally congratulate our fellow Ghanian FBG's on a well played match. Best of luck!

 

[wadegarrett]

####### AWESOME!!!!

 

[Ramsay Hunt Experience]

Who's the white chick with the Ghana flag?

 

[TenTimes]

US was leading all but about 4 minutes of a 2-1 game

 

[Mister CIA]

Gha na na na na, hey hey, goodbye.

 

[Slapdash]

2 minutes of brilliance, 85 minutes of dog #### and we have the lead. Unreal.

Spot on

 

[Ramsay Hunt Experience]

Much better 2nd half from Beas and Beckerman, BTW.

 

[wadegarrett]

Guy was not right that's for sure. Hope he gets his head out of his ###.

 

[FreeBaGeL]

So Bradley is a good soccer player? All I saw him do was jog around for 90+ minutes

He also had some sweet passes to the dudes wearing white.

 

[encaitar]

Ugly win, but it works.

Problem is Jozy's injury. Every Jozy doubter should now be able to see how vital he is to holding possession. Even when he doesn't get scoring opportunities, his presence opens the field. I hope he can come back from that injury, but it looked ugly.

 

[ffldrew]

Much better 2nd half from Beas and Beckerman, BTW.

Yes - Beckerman cleaned up a lot of stuff

 

[wadegarrett]

And damn...Ghana was relentless. Pressure they put on was amazing.

 

[GroveDiesel]

#1 Fan of Ghana Soccer has to be devastated right now. Probably won't even see him around here for a while

 

[Zow]

Ghana 20 shots to our 5

 

[Snoopy]

Is Gatorade a sponsor or is Powerade a sponsor? I ask because we can't have any players cramping up.

Background on the interview had Powerade as a sponsor.

 

[AAABatteries]

#### YEAH

 

[rockaction]

Who's the white chick with the Ghana flag?

I saw that and laughed. Ahhh, Brooklyn.

 

[dickey moe]

That last 10 min was awesome... too bad I had to listen to most of it on the radio driving home from work.

 

[AAABatteries]

We owed those #####es!

 

[shader]

I'm a total soccer amateur. But it seems like there is a real problem in holding possession.

 

[Dinsy Ejotuz]

Assuming Ghana doesn't pull a shocker against Germany we're a draw against Portugal from advancing.

 

[AAABatteries]

So Bradley is a good soccer player? All I saw him do was jog around for 90+ minutes

He had a bad game - it happens but we need a lot more from him if we have a chance at even another pt.

 

[Moe.]

ESPN > let's go no Landycakes on the post game. TIA.

I know zilch about soccer as well and noticed the exact same thing. Along with our guys dont seem to be as tough as the Ghanis(?) We were on the ground a ton and always looking around for the ref.

 

[cstu]

I like it when the U.S. wins in soccer.

 

[Ramsay Hunt Experience]

Goal aside, Brooks was heroic. Guy is going to be straight up stud in 2018.

 

[Slapdash]

As exciting as that win is, the US is going to need much better performances against Germany and Portugal.

 

[Moe.]

Goal aside, Brooks was heroic. Guy is going to be straight up stud in 2018.

Do you stick with Brooks even if Besler is ready to go?
