Ryu has no idea what he is talking about. The US team played a great game. When you are up you shrink the field and play defensively. Then the other team is pressed to score. If you continue attacking your team is spread thin and is easy to score against.

How could anyone complain about 2 fast goals when you need them.

Dude, we sucked . . . we’ve always had trouble against quick teams, granted. And the technical stuff? We may have a chance against Portugal, but Germany will tear us to pieces.

Michael Bradley did not have a good game.

What the US did well was defend the crossing passes so that Ghana could never get anything going in the box.

Watching how well Mexico played against Brazil today, I had to wonder how the heck do we beat Mexico on a consistent level as we do, they have so much more talent than the US.
