We Lost.
This is ridiculous. The USA team has just lost to Ghana. Why? An inappropriate penalty kick, a USA team not playing with consistent intensity throughout the game, and poor sportsmanship from Ghanaians rolling around in feigned pain. Absolutely ridiculous.

i cannot agree more Garrett. Let’s not forget that the poor refereeing from the last match left us without a starting central defender and center-back. It’s just more of the same. The sad thing is i believe that poor officiating has cost all my teams so far this year. The Seahawks lost the SuperBowl in part due to some poor calls. The Mavs were killed as was the integrity of the NBA by all the fouls called on them so as to promote Dwyane Wade to a marketable entity. Then finally Team USA has lost due in part to three amazingly awful calls. It’s been a rough year. Just remember as John Darnielle sings in a Mountain Goat’s song, “i am going to make it through this year if it kills me.” SIGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
