We definitely deserved at least a point from that match today. Ghana had more chances but we defended fairly well and Ghana just didnt have the final ball. Alot of their shots were very Townsend-esque.Our midfield was terrible today. Could not keep the ball. Bradley better get his shit together. Worst game I've seen him play in some time. Loss of Altidore is bad. Say what you will about his club form, he has been fantastic in some big games for the US recently. Typical American team getting a win that they probably shouldn't have.
So far this is going exactly to play for the US to have any chance to advance. They need to get a point against Portugal and try to get through a group like this
GER 9
USA 4
POR 4 (or 1)
GHA 3 (or 0)
US goes though on the GD from the Germany thrashing today. Overall a good day for the US. They gave themselves a chance.
Good news for the US is that Portugal are down Pepe and Coentrao(likely). Im thinking Jurgen might tinker with the back line against Portugal. Especially since Beasley was terrible today. I wouldnt be surprised if he starts Yedlin on the right because of his pace against Ronaldo and put Fabian back on the left. If we draw Portugal, we go through, as long as we dont lose to Germany by 5.
