Rustenburg - USA vs. Ghana - June 26

$50.00 says there's a [Poor language removed] refereeing call.

Hopefully, it goes our way for once.

 

[TX Chili Dog]

We ain't Ghana mess around.

Team USA will go through in 90mins. The passion, effort and commitment of the players is one of the best I've seen in this World Cup. Not many teams can pull themselves back from being 2 down. It takes a lot of character, teamwork and attitude. They don't have world class players but they seem to be able to create chance after chance to score. Unorthodox maybe but it's refreshing to see.

Even David James thinks England dodged the bullet by not playing Ghana. Should be a very open game with plenty of goals.

PLEASE PLEASE! Bob Bradley ban all your players for shooting on goal during free kicks. It hasn't happened this world cup and that's not going to change. I'm suprised that no team has really figured this out yet.

THIS!!!
Serious disconnect on the jabulani physics and WHY.. all they have to do is watch the videos! Damn ball when struck hard actually gets to apogee then takes off again. Only way to get it in goal over a wall is to strike it like a chip or pass.

I agree generally yet disagree on your specifics. Back line as last game. Bornstein was delighfully effective.. but it's not really hard to be better than Boca there.. Boca FAR better in CB. Edu DEFINITELY! Buddle up top then Gomez, if no joy.

I'd like to have stayed up to watch this game but cant because of work in the early hours so I'll wish you good luck and hope you go through tonight guys. Lets have a fair game with a decent ref that keeps the game flowing and doesnt make stupid mistakes.

 

[TX Bill]

Even more nervous here.

I think we'll score. My concern is keeping Ghana out of the net as they're very quick and dangerous. The good news is that they haven't scored from open play this World Cup.

The bad news is that they haven't scored from open play in this World Cup so you figure they're due.

Heart says 1-0 to the USA
Head says 1-1 draw and we go to penalties after a scoreless 30 minutes.

Winner...???

I couldn't even guess.

Makes sense. A lot of parallels there, you & Ghana(rhea).

You're fantastic Goat. Really. But I'm allergic to wool so would you mind? I'd hate to sneeze all over you during these next couple hours.

Ghana are a poor team, but so are the US, take Donavan out that side and they are less than average.

Altidore is making Heskey look good.

I kinda want the US to win, not sure why, just dont like Ghana, maybe if Essien was playing I would change my view, excellent player and a joy to watch.

But for that reason I want the US to win, I enjoy watching Landycakes, just wish they didnt have that complete sack of crap upfront, hes very bad.

This doesnt mean I wont be ripping the pee if Ghana wins, oh no.

Wouldn't expect anything less. Although, you may want to rephrase this statement based on my previous reply.

Sorry, you teed that one up for me, wooleth one.

Jozy hatrick.

Shocking player. They'd have done better dragging McBride out of retirement. No wonder Donovan has to perform miracles.
