This was Ghana’s win. They did not need Razak Pimpong or Markus Merk to provide another talking point.
The US were defeated fair and square by their inability to keep their focus on the first few minutes of the first half, regulation or extra. And credit Asamoah Gyan who kept his legs pumping and his eyes on the ball to slam that ball past Tim Howard. We see “hustle” writ large on that goal. A team that had self belief as well as talent. Ghana was that team today.
