I thought Ghana shoved the United States around in midfield all night long. We had two moments of brilliance and some fairly solid defending and snatched a win.
But you are right to note the individualism of Portugal’s players. Nani and Ronaldo alone can cause headaches for friend and foe alike.
We have work to do in midfield before Portugal. Part of that involves finding a different role for Bradley, in my view. I know Klinsmann wants him off the strikers but he looked like he was invisible for huge stretches of today’s match.
Given Portugal’s health state you may well be right about Ghana. One of those teams will be playing for at least a mathematical shot at the round of 16 so it should be very entertaining.
What should Klinsmann have Bradley doing? I’ve played club soccer but never coached, so I really don’t know the preferred strategic options.
