Was a good game! Ghana's 2 goals came on EPIC defensive breakdowns by USA's defenders. USA defense has been its problem for a long time; we've been able to develop great strikers and goalies, but man, our defense just hasn't improved over the years. We need to get Dwight Howard and LeBron James to switch careers, because until we get the man-beasts who are funneled into basketball and football to play soccer, we're never going to develop top defenders.
To be honest, Ghana should have got a red card in the last 10 minutes. When that player faked an injury to burn like four minutes off the clock, he should have been red carded. That Mexican ref gave someone a yellow earlier in the tourney for doing just that, if I'm correct (or was it a red in the Copa de America?). That was dirty, dirty, dirty Italian-style soccer at its worst. They need to start giving retroactive red cards for diving. That was embarrassing and I hope that Uruguay smashes Ghana next game. They marred a hard-earned victory with an astonishing display of acting. Very lamentable. I understand that they want to delay as much as possible, but when you have three instances of injury faking to burn time... I'm sure it won't happen again in the cup, thanks to Ghana today. Everyone noticed it, it was too egregious. The refs are going to be given notice of it by FIFA.
Germany should dispatch a disorganized England tomorrow, and Mexico should get hammered by Argentina (who I still think is going to win the cup).

love the last part! Although I usually try to wear earplugs at gigs, and most musicians actually do wear them.
