2006 WORLD CUP - Day 14 Thread - U.S. needs win in group E finale
MLSnet.com ^ | 6-22-06 | MLSnet.com

The U.S. national team goes into Thursday's Group E finale against Ghana (9:55 a.m. ET, ESPN) knowing that it must come up with a win to have any chance of moving to the Round of 16.

All four teams in Group E, including the USA, still have a chance to advance. The U.S. must beat a tough Ghana side to have any chance of moving to the knockout phase. Should Bruce Arena's team be able to secure three points against the Africans, whom they meet at 9:55 a.m. ET on ESPN, they will need Italy to beat the Czech Republic in a simultaneous match, which can be seen live on ESPN2. The U.S. is not mathematically eliminated with a Czech draw or win, but will need a big victory over Ghana to avoid being eliminated on goal difference.

We need a goal now to get this back into a game.
Now the keeper is in injury mode.

Olsen seems to have really fouled out the Ghana player who is limping away from the pitch.

If only that foul on Convey had been a few feet closer to the goal . . .

Way too high. We seem to have a real problem with that.

If the US doesn't score within the next 3 minutes, they're doomed.

Italy is certainly doing their part to help the US get to the next round...

They need to score twice and that won't happen.
