Bradley’s team selection might cost us everything. Clark and Findley have been worse than useless through the entire tournament yet he threw them both in there.

Ghana’s first goal was Clark’s direct responsibility.

It’s sad. A competent boss might have put out an eleven that could have won this match.

Good on you. Don’t pressure yourself and don’t expect every game to be great.

Just learn a few more things and you might see the nuances you are missing now. Right now you might see a run off the ball or a tackle and not see much in it, but when you understand the run had a purpose or how important the tackle is you will appreciate it more.

Watch this guy. He makes soccer an art:

So what if they’re out of gas. So are Ghana. Not enough effort up front.

It’s over. :( Great effort. Rooting for England against the Krauts tomorrow. I printed out the lyrics for “10 German Bombers in the Air”. I suppose I will root for the Argies against the Illegals.

Be proud of your team tonight.

American soccer is respected throughout the world. Embrace the fact you are learning and getting better every year.

Congrats to Ghana as they seemed to want it more than our side. They better enjoy the win because they won’t get a team with a shaky defense against Uraguay.

Yes, we are learning slowly and teams don’t take us lightly anymore. We’ll learn and get better.

What a crap ending. But this was one typical example of these 50/50 games where both sides could have won it and where you pay heavily for a tiny mistake. Could've ended otherwise (heck, it went into extra time, if that's no indicator), should've ended otherwise, but no luck today.

Looking forward to England-Germany tomorrow.

It was good while it lasted!

Ghana had two good goals but once again humiliate themselves by requiring the stretcher be brought out six or more times.

Obviously not the desired result but overall a very good World Cup performance by USA!

Better luck next time!
