FULL TIME - Match #50 (ROUND OF 16 - #2) -



Fascinating football in the second half. USA looked SO much improved that its hard to believe they are the same team who got their asses cooked time and time again in the first half. Both teams went for broke during the final 15-odd minutes or so, but even 3 minutes of extra added time couldn't see any late goals.

We head into Extra Time. 30 more minutes - 2 halves of 15 minutes each.

If that fails to produce any goals, it will be the Shootout.

GHANA lead 2 - 1!!

that's really a classic striker's goal! But they should allow him to continue his signature dance.

so we have to wait for the 2nd half of extra time for USA to level the scoreline?

Pretty impressive guy, Gyan. Has all the makings of a solid striker for any team he plays with.


LOL! Obviously...

HALFTIME WHISTLE OF EXTRA TIME -


USA - 1



GHANA - 2



That fabulous strike by Gyan in the 93rd minute put Ghana back in front again. Will USA again bring in the equaliser in the second half of ET? It looks very likely, given their track record. ;)

Plenty of class from Ghana with the phantom falls, but it's not like they're the only ones that pull that.

Anyway.. if this is it, I have to say it was a lot of fun while it lasted.

All's fair in love, football and war?

USA still has one last hurrah left...

FULL TIME + EXTRA TIME - Match #50 (ROUND OF 16 - #2) -



What a superb game of football! Easily one of the best of this WC so far. USA should be really proud of their showing in WC 2010. They bow out of this tournament with their heads held high.

Ghana march on, ahead into the Round of 8 - the Quarter Finals. They will face Uruguay next.

It was a good game but I don't think the US did themselves justice. They didn't play near to their potential but well done Ghana.

Its good an African nation is still in the competition.
