Ghana is 2x as fast as us. We wont be able to play long ball and have players run on to it, we will have to play long ball (is build ups arent working) and have Jozy use his strength in a post up type move.

As for defense, we REALLY cant get stretched. Need to stay compact because Ghana's speed and skill will shred us to pieces if we are too opened up in the back.

If it does, I'm not worried at all. If there's anything US soccer is good at, it's our goalkeepers and their ability to save PKs. When Everton played the MLS All-Stars last year, Tim Howard saved two PKs in the shootout, I believe. I'd be worried about our end of scoring, but I'd be confident in Howard to put us in a great position.

QFT

However, its the most nerve-racking thing there is. I would fucking die from heart-attack before the 5th kick takers even got up to the spot.

Fuck a nut. Bradley is starting Findley AND Clark. What the hell does Findley had on him and why is Clark back in after sitting for over 2 matches??

---------------------Howard-----------------------
Cherundolo--DeMerit--Bocanegra--Bornstein

-----------------Clark-----------------------------
------------------------Bradley-------------------
----Donovan----------------------Dempsey----
---------------Altidore---Findley----------------

That isour starting XI in a rather makeshift formation, lol.

WTF! Obviously, the younger Bradley did something, and Findley knows about it, so he's blackmailing the coach. That's all I can come up with. If anything, Buddle/Gomez should be starting up top, or heck, throw Feilhaber/Edu in the middle and push Dempsey up top. You know our three subs will come from those four...

And Bob Bradley's selection policy strikes again. We'll only be able to win in spite of his idiocy for so long.

Well, at least we've been here before.
