World Cup Preview • USA v. Ghana
On the eve of this very important match, I am filled with anxiety.
The anticipation of this match has been pulling at my stomach for
a few days. I am both nervous and exciting. This is a match in
which the USA can win. To my dismay, it is against Ghana, a team
that I would normally be supporting whole heartedly. Furthermore,
the Black Stars are the only remaining African team in the World Cup.
Gyan and Asamoah are incredible players, and will give the Americans
some difficulty on the back line. I believe that Ghana will not be able
to defend the American attack fully which will result in American goals.
It will be very difficult for the Stars and Stripes to keep a clean sheet
against the Ghana. What a match this will be. The winner faces the
winner of Uruguay and South Korea which are reasonable opponents.
I am nervous for the Americans and our Football Dreams.
We will beat Ghana tomorrow three to one.
clearly Ghana was the better team and deserved to advance. i, too was bummed to have to decide between USA and Ghana. i am happy for Ghana and bummed for the US in equal measure.
