4. Was that a muscle spasm that took Altidore out?

It wasn't a hit.

12. Hamstring, sadly.

I fear we won't see him again this tournament...

13. I hope not. Question

How many emerge out of group play? Is it two or three?

[Ron Obvious]

14. The top two

We start with 32 teams in 8 groups of four. Half of them will be eliminated in group play, leaving 16 for single round elimination matches.

If the US manage to finish second (finishing above Germany is not realistic), they'll face the winner of group H, which could be Belgium or Russia.

Anything can happen.

5. I feel my hair greying

USA has to tighten on defense. Ghana is going to convert if they keep getting opportunities

[BainsBane]

6. Ghana is playing better

seems to me, though they haven't scored yet. I have to say I like their snazzy hairdos.

7. Ghana has recovered

from that early goal. USAA is still feeling the effects of losing Altidore. so far they have been just good enough and Ghana has had enough miscues to hold the lead.

I've seen some tentative ness in Ghana's defense. another goal for the US is not out of the question if they get their heads together. playing the way they are they need some insurance

[BainsBane]

8. Howard is the hardest working goal keeper in the cup

9. It's final: USA 2, Ghana 1 Minute 95

Go-ahead goal scored at 86th minute: John Anthony Brooks scores a header in the center of the goal from a corner kick.

10. That was amazing

I didn't think they were going to do it. I'm so glad I was wrong.

11. Ho-lee cow

Finally I pick the place to eat!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good job pulling it out.
