Round of 16: Ghana - USA

[La Bling]

This all comes back to the coach. So many errors. First, and most obvious, is the early goals. The only thing I can think of that would cause that so often is a lack of motivation by the coach. His pre-game speeches must be awful.

Once Davies went out, Bradley had no idea what to do up top. Throughout quallifying he was trying to find a partner for Jozy. Connor Casey, lol. Of course, he settles for Findley, who plays for Real Salt Lake. REAL SALT LAKE. What was going through his head? What was going through his head was that he's fast like Davies. Problem is, he isn't nearly as fast, and as we saw today, he can't properly kick a ball. Like for like doesn't always work, Bob.

Clark is the reason for a goal. So he starts Edu. Edu "scores" against Slovenia, and was overall pretty good against Algeria. He was forced into starting Hercules too, and he wasn't bad. What does Bob do? He changes a winning side back to what it was before. And the two changes ruin him.

I won't even get into Feilhaber, who dominates when he comes on (too late).

It's On Man, you hit it all on the head really...Glad to read some of the comments from players post-match, as well...They know they need to get better...They're anxious, they're upset, they want more yet they know they're lacking still

It's good, I think...I don't think US soccer truly takes a hit, I think they continue to step up their prominence in the sport...They know there's a gap still but they want to close that gap...It's coming

Jurgen Klinsmann, anyone?

Still on the fence with Klinsmann...Don't know if he's really a good manager or if it were his assistants with the German NT, he flopped at Bayern
