It was a familiar story. Only an upright denied Rafik Djebbour otherwise it would have been a perfect record of going behind.
USA goes behind on Ghana’s first attempt at goal. In the 4′ minute: Ricardo Clark coughing up the ball to Kevin Prince Boateng which the Pompey midfielder gratefully accepted. Given space by a generous US defense Boateng bore down on goal unleashing a shot which caught Tim Howard by surprise. He should have done better.
The US seem to be parking the bus in midfield, trying to go down the middle with predictable results. There has been very little effort to widen the game using the flanks. The Black Stars have not been stretched and they they are gaining back the ball at an alarming rate.
Robbie Findley had the best chance but the man has speed, no guile, and shot it straight to Kingson.
There are 45 minutes left. The US has to start getting the ball into better scoring positions.
