Aaron Johansen replaces Altidore. I hope this injury is not serious.

Dempsey got a nosebleed from full contact with his Ghanian counterpart.

Treated and is back in the game.

The US certainly will get counter-attack opportunities in the second half, they’ve got to cash them in.

Is the US this bad or is Ghana that good? I can’t remember the last time we looked this flat. Lots of bad traps, dribbles, clearances and passes. Very sloppy.

20 minutes left. Ugh. Can’t string three passes together. Ghana is getting plenty of opportunities.
