I also think it will be a great game, Germany is a great team but Ghana is also very good.
I really only think we saw the game play out the way it did, because:
1. We scored so early it immediately put us on the defensive. That became the pattern of play. USMNT is better with their backs against the wall. Not playing from in front.
2. Losing Altidore so early. Our entire style of play had to change (but didn't really). Lack of goal scoring aside, he is an entirely unique entity on this US team. Our offense runs through him in the front, and I don't think the US was able to make that adjustment in game. Hopefully, we've had enough time to adjust since.
