TEAM NEWS

USA striker Robbie Findley is available after completing a one-match ban. Coach Bob Bradley could recall centre-back Oguchi Onyewu, who lost his place to Jonathan Bornstein against Algeria as part of a defensive reshuffle.

Ghana are again expected to be without defender Isaac Vorsah, who has missed the last two games because of a hamstring problem. His absence is likely to mean youngster Jonathan Mensah continues at centre-back alongside the similarly-named John Mensah.

One game from suspension: Cherundolo, DeMerit, Altidore, Beasley (USA); Andre Ayew, Vorsah, Tagoe, Jonathan Mensah, Addy, Annan (Ghana).

Picking a walk in this one, Ghana haven't looked anything like the team from the last world cup.

I think 1-0 to somebody, or 0-0 and to penalties.

Golden boy won't allow that.

And is it too much to ask that the cheating diving cunt Dempsey break a good dozen bones from a crunching but legal tackle, so he can finally feel what it's actually like to be hurt instead of pretending.

Great goal Boateng - they´ve actually taken a chance for once - bad mistake from Bradley was it?

I still don't believe it, that was Kevin-Prince Boateng, he's fucking useless.

So ridiculous. Horrible goalkeeping by howArd as well. They own the midfield and their left winger is ripping cheerundolo a new one.

Two yellows. We won't finish with [strike]ten[/strike] 11 men. And this won't end 1-0 either.

No, the mistake came from the useless Clark. Howard at fault too.

Probably had something to do with Bob hauling him off

Tight game this - Ghana still a bit green at this level and prone to a bit of sleepwalking

yea clark gave the ball away ... but the defending after that and howard were poor. you ccan blame clark for losing the ball, but he wasn't responsible for every other player involved getting it wrong after that.

and god damn ... another missed chance

Only fuclin just !! Dempsey made a meal of it but the defensive naivety of Ghana made it kind of inevitable
