we hope!

ghana really dominated the whole game really, and one for one had the better players (essien, boateng, etc, buncha names i can't remember), but USA had a better tactical armature--- klinsi has disciplined them well and they did their jobs. i applaud him 10,000,000 times. he's not exactly a football messiah, but it's great to see the mentality that he brings to the team-- and good tactics.

still, i think USA had a lot of flaws-- couldn't keep possession and cool the game after that first goal-- as a result there was a lot of pressure, running, etc-- as a result also probably some of the injuries. a lot of bad passes up front, not just late when they were tired but throughout. probably nerves.

i hope jozy's injury is not too terrible. though those hamstring pulls are a fucking horror. not sure johansson is up to doing 10% of what jozy does, certainly didn't show today. again probably nerves.

ref was i think too lenient, which favored ghana's machete-style marking. that boot to clint's face was really reprehensible. it was fucking tae kwon do on an aerial contest.

bedoya had a great game by the way, and he was a starter as i had expected. he carried a lot of the game. fabian johnson came through near the end. clint wasn't the same after the busted nose-- fuckers! and when brooks scored i asked "who the fuck is brooks?". bradley was terrible today. nerves again?

jermaine johns i think had a notable game. not that he was particularly brilliant but he kept grinding it out & getting kicked & getting up & grinding it out. beckermann too though he wasn't so punished. fucking shit, they were all heroic, because in terms of individual talent they are no great stars but they gave everything they had. that was amazing.

the ghanian witchman was fucking creepy btw, if you saw him.

okay. rant over. need beers now.
