GO...GO...U-S-A!!!!

 

[Jimdish255]

Looks like we're going to find out a lot about our depth if this keeps up.

 

[DarthGrumpy]

Key goal by Dempsey; but, with Jozy down and Dempsey dinged, this is when I wish the US had a vet or two to come off the bench.

 

[ZooCougar]

Jermaine Jones is class.

 

[ZooCougar]

It's like the team is asleep here in extra time.

 

[Jimdish255]

We look clueless bringing the ball out of the back.

 

[SubbaBub]

Need a better second half. Ghana pressuring the goal way to much. They are clearly attacking Beasley's side, perhaps looking to wear him down with Jones a central player covering the wing. Beasley and Bradley need to stop giving the ball away. Jones, Bedoya and Dempsey (pre nose job) playing well.

Worried a little about the lack of possession but we seem to get good chances when we move the ball down the field. Just need to be stronger on the ball. Get it to Johnson and Bedoya on the right.

Subs may be determined by health. Besler looks to have a leg issue. Hating our lack of depth right now. We have plenty of mediocre wings and guys with zero int'l experience, but who's useful of the bench?

Ref is allowing a lot of rough stuff. Good for us if it keeps up and we can take the beatings. Counted at least two yellows and a third straight red for Ghana on that clumsy tackle of Jones.

I want that second USA goal. By hook or by crook.

Brooks in for Besler. Eek?

Just shows how bad Gonzalez has been playing. Goodson would have been nice to throw in there.

 

[SubbaBub]

Jones playing well. He's a guy I thought would be subbed out around 65-70th minute. Hope he can hold up for the full 90.

 

[SubbaBub]

Can we call a timeout? We need to get this thing together. Bradley has been absent.

 

[SubbaBub]

It's a shooting gallery. Need one of the counters to click. Unlikely to hold at 1-0.

Getting nothing from Bradley, Dempsey, AJ right now.

 

[RioDog]

So whch side is Bradley playing for? I don't follow the USMNT too closely, but is our talent so thin that he's the best option to start? He looks old and slow and aleast half of his passes are terrible.

He's the best player on the squad, and it's not close. Complete no show. Actually been a negative so far.

 

[UCFBfan]

They are playing with fire and have almost been burned a few times. They need to get offensive and fast! They can't play in their back half all second half and expect to get 3 points

Cheezus

 

[SubbaBub]

OK, everybody stay healthy now. That's our last sub.

 

[DarthGrumpy]

Finally a counter with a few connected passes, holding my breath. Also worried who will be healthy for Portugal.

 

[UCFBfan]

And BOOM goes the wall....let's hope it's just one and by some miracle we net another. This is getting very dangerous

 

[DarthGrumpy]

Damn, heck of shot. US was playing with fire too much.

 

[UCFBfan]

Goal goal goal goal.....holy hell this is amazing

 

[SubbaBub]

"It's John BROOKS..."

Another classic call by Ian Darke. The only guy more surprised was John Brooks.

 

[RioDog]

Just erased a scathing post after the Ghanan goal... I take it all back.

 

[DarthGrumpy]

Holy Brooks!

5 MINUTES???
