OK, so we know who we play. Ghana. This should sound familiar to those of you who watched our recent soccer history. Outside of the socceroos pulling off a miracle today, this is the absolute best result we could hope for. Ghana will be tough, but they are not Germany, and Serbia would have been a pretty even match.
I would say that we SHOULD beat Ghana, as we're the higher ranked team and (the officiating notwithstanding) seem to be peaking. Just have to finish better. That's been our biggest problem since qualifying began, imo. Match is Saturday on ABC.
I'm predicting a US win, 2-1. This time with Altidore finding a seam and Dempsey finishing a header on a cross.
Plus, if we are allowed to get ahead of ourselves now, assuming we beat Ghana we will be playing the winner of Uruguay and South Korea. It's a pretty nice draw, giving us a great opportunity to advance to the semifinals, which is just really, really awesome, guys.
