US 2 Ghana 1

US - 2, Ghana 1. Maybe just as important for us advancing is Germany-Portugal at 11:00 this morning. We could really use a 2-0 (or greater) Germany victory. I think our best chance to advance is to beat Ghana, tie Portugal, then face a Germany team that has already pretty much clinched the #1 spot in our group and managing to beat Portugal on goal differential.

2-0 USA USA USA!!! (because we have to)

Need to win and get some goal differential help as well.

10-0 USA**

 

[Maroon Eagle]

1-1 draw. I've got a bad feeling about this game. Both teams need to win in order to have a chance to advance and I think that Ghana and the US will draw and then lose to Germany and Portugal.

 

[godlluB]

45 - 3 with Damian Williams playing QB the entire second half.

Ghana? Man this weak out of conference scheduling has really gotten out of control.

 

[DesotoCountyDawg]

1-1 I think the teams are pretty even. Ghana does have some injuries so we will see if that comes into play. We really need to win it 2-0 but I don't see it happening.

 

[AlCoDog]

3-1 US and I cannot hear Ghana without thinking of this:

USA 1 Ghana 0

Altidore wins a foul in the box early in the 2nd half and scores on the penalty kick...

 

[Sutterkane]

Ghana 3 US 0

 

[FQDawg]

Ghana 2, USA 0

I'd love to be wrong about this one... I just think we're too susceptible in the back and not quite good enough going forward.

 

[o_1984Dawg]

spot on. I say 2-1 USA as well.

 

[RebelBruiser]

Ghana has the population of Texas and the GDP of South Dakota...

And they own us in soccer.

Ghana wins 2-1 today, effectively ending any chance for the US to advance out of the Group of Death, and Soccer takes its typical 4 year vacation from the mainstream US Sports consciousness.

 

[patdog]

Spoiler inside.

Looking good so far. Germany up 2-0 after 32 minutes.

Now 3-0 at the half and Portugal is down to 10 men. Looking good if the USA can hold up their end of the deal and beat Ghana tonight.

Always sucks to lose to a team whose leading cause of death is jackals.

 

[Dawgsnsaints]

Don't Tread on Me 3 Run From Big *** Lions 1, JA get two in back of net, CD one.

 

[Fletch F. Fletch.sixpack]

The USA better win. Losing to a country where 95% of the people are starving would be embarrassing.

Question ...

Now 3-0 at the half and Portugal is down to 10 men.

Portugal player Pepe got a Red Card in the game? Does he have to sit out next game ... against us on Sunday? Does Portugal have to play Sunday game down a player?

Thanks

 

[patdog]

Answer.

Pepe will be suspended for the USA-Portugal game. They can still play with 11 though. You only play a man down for the rest of that match, not the next one too. There have been a few really stupid red cards already in this World Cup.

 

[Cousin Jeffrey]

(1) Yes and (2) No.

This is one of those cases where I would retroactively yellow (hell make it red) card the German. Oh well, guess it helps us out.

[patdog]

Yeah. That was pretty pathetic. He acted like he just got shot in the face.

US of A 1 - Ghana nil

Need a US win or interest will go south in a hurry

 

[hullabaloodog]

USA 1 - Ghana 0

Depmsey cleans up some garbage in the 72'

 

[MSUDC11]

1-1 draw. We give up a goal because of pathetic defense and then get one back via Bradley.
