Tim Howard again tells the US to "calm down."
Jones fouls Muntari just to stop another quick attack/
Chance for Ghana! Asamoah belts one from long range. Moves a bit in the air but Howard keeps it out. 66th minute.
Mike: the worst possible time to have a poor performance.
More poor play in possession by the U.S. after a rare bit of attacking gives Ghana another chance to attack. Poor Jermaine Jones. He's holding the midfield together and barely.
Nah. Players have bad games. It happens.
Wrong. They wanted him to stay. He left because he was stuck behind Strootman, Pjanic and De Rossi.
Kevin-Prince Boateng with the latest poor effort on goal.
John Brooks really needs to be careful with keeping track of runs in the central channel. He got burned in friendly against Bosnia last year (one game, but still...) and it looks like Gyan is targeting that side to get in behind the defense.
They don't need to be afraid. If the U.S. get three points today, that generates the fear.
It's kinda insane to see so many players seemingly hobbled and hurt.
Corner, U.S. from the right. Hey, I just saw Aron Johannsson standing there.
Half-chance for the U.S.! Bedoya's corner isn't brilliant but Kwarasey comes out to inexplicably punch it, missing the ball completely. Luckily for him no Americans are nearby. Goal kick, Ghana.
Maybe the deep heat of Manaus will be really refreshing.
Ghana now with 14 shots, the most at this tournament without a goal.
70th minute. U.S. honestly holding on for dear life at the moment. Good holding work by Johnson and Bradley to stop either Andre Ayew or Boateng breaking into the box. Still Ghana have it but Jermaine Jones does superbly to usher Daniel Opare to the touchline, where the full-back's control lets him down and the ball dribbles out for a goal kick.
Sub, Ghana: Mohammed Rabiu off, Michael Essien on. This should be interesting.
that's the spirit, Joanna!
Presume this is about the USMNT game from the USWNT international.
Beckerman with some lovely work to keep Ghana from getting down the right wing.

This is like watching 101st Airborne besieged in the Battle of the Bulge. They held out for 7 days. Can US last next 20 minutes?by roger bennett via twitter 6/16/2014 11:33:38 PM
