USA vs. Ghana Open Thread
I BELIEVE!
As the starters has been announced I thought it time to start the thread.
Altidore---------Dempsey
Jones-------Beckerman------Bradley------Bedoya
Beasley-----Cameron-----Besler-----Johnson
Howard
(No they don't use a true 4-4-2 but it isn't a true 4-3-3 either...but these are your starters)
Edit-Being listed as a diamond w Bradley attacking & Beckerman defensive/holding
Also notable exclusions for Ghana starters are Boateng and Essian
Go USA!!!!
To hell with Ghana....
As expected this is the Nigerian lineup...and as expected Lalas will whine.
Ghana speed will win this match... 2-0 Ghana
USA 2 - Ghana 1
lol that's awesome.
I will be using it everyday posting.
Game was a qualifier at Jamaica. Bocanegra's reaction gets me every time.
If this has already been posted, please ignore.
But a funny article on the Michigan Flag at the game earlier this week.

accurate).
thanks for posting
Of course it's more like an ameba as it's ever shifting.
Same 11 on the field is the point. I'm going to be watching Bedoya closely because I liked Zusi in that spot.
Hoping for a good, clean game and the players to have fun and play with...nah jk hope Ghana wins.
We're going to Portugal you.
So you're going to lose 0-4? Ghana's good but that'd be great!
Hat trick, Jozy.
Unexpectedly nervous for this match. Sort of like when Phil Coke enters a game nervous...
Just saw Airplane! for the first time last week. Looks like I picked the wrong week to stop using amphetamines
Now available on ESPN.
Landy predicts 2-1 USA victory.
Hey friends - joining the thread via dongle-internet from South Africa at 11:20 PM because 1) I have to watch this and 2) I can't possibly watch alone.
I'm more of a lurker. Special circumstances call for a more visible presence, I guess.
Fuck fix your feed
This is what ESPN does better than anyone.
And just with that intro, I am fully erect.
Landon Donovan must've liked my post because he gets on national TV and talks about "the moment" and he picks his hands up, looks down at his cack and says "I'm excited, the blood is flowing."
That was pretty funny. In a 16 years old kind of way.
Would be awesome if they shut down Times Square for a viewing party...New Yea Eve's style.
I can dream.
Would have loved to see Landon for 25 minutes this game when the Black Stars are tired in that heat and humidity... his pace would be very welcome. Still don't get him not making it as a reserve.
Not fit.
Dunno man - he looked pretty good last summer and I'd think with 3 more weeks after they cut him he'd be fine. Not asking him to play 90 minutes a game. Just 25.
Also who the hell would have thought Beasley would make it on the team longer than Donovan 10 years ago.
Last summer??
I follow the La Galaxy and go to a lot of their home games and Donovan has not looked good at all leading up to camp.
Brad Davis winner @ Jamaica.
His tweet when he found out he didn't make the team was pretty funny.
I love the announcers accent..I wish I could talk like that
Go USA! Go Red, White & Blue!
Beat Ghana!
Awesome fan attendance there - no excuse in terms of crowd support.
Now's the time boys, make us proud.
we're not Russia
Kits look sharper than on paper - would like more blue though.
