“We shouldn’t have beaten Ghana given the possession differential, the defense was incredible and Howard was the MVP.”

I’m glad the US won, but I agree with you, Ghana dominated the game and had oodles more scoring opportunities.

They squandered all of them due to a very aggressive US defense and some meticulous US goal-tending.

They could have played far better than they did. They still got beaten fair and square.

Ghana is a damn good team. But the US did a good job of battening down the hatches and not allowing passes to go into the box, save for the Ghana goal.

Yup. But our goalie played like a mad man. As in awesomely.
