OT:Ghana-USA GDT

[IPostedWhat]

So they carry him off the field just so he can jump up and walk around?

How fucking embarrassing for the sport of Soccer these Ghana players.

Slovakia was doing the same thing against Italy a couple of days ago, it's an epidemic I'm afraid...

yep. That's why soccer will never be big in the USA. Americans don't like that kind of bullshit in their sports

When did Mike Hargrove become Ghana's coach?

 

[CatScrap]

I don't know but I think I saw hamhuis out there...

Wow...Not even close to being comparable.

 

[naslundfan19]

Dang

Good game, Ghana played well and took advantage of their chances...

 

[ritari330]

Great effot US!

 

[IPostedWhat]

When do we invade Ghana?

Can't believe this shit happened again.

 

[Destroydacre]

Ouch. Losing to a shit team like Ghana really stings. The US needs some strikers who can finish in a bad way. For as many chances as they had to have none of their forwards get a goal is pretty bad. Altidore and Findley are pretty much useless. Very disappointing.

 

[IPostedWhat]

Imagine what a US comeback and win would of done for the sport of Soccer in the US?

I think it will slip back into obscurity again for the next 4 years.

 

[ritari330]

sucks, soccer deserves a whole lot more than it gets in America

 

[Winged_Wheel88]

I thought Ghana took it a little too far when they substituted and put a player out there named "Bucagringo".

 

[ELYEAH82]

Dude the extra time was unwatchable. Ghana diving stalling and getting carried off on stretchers was ridiculous. I can see why no one really watches this crap in the US.

 

[awaz]

ya.. love the game of soccer, despise most soccer players though.. killing time like that is just horrific.. they should switch to stopping the clock, but i know they never will

simple solution, doesn't ruin anything, fixes the problem.. but gotta have that tradition!

just like baseball with its garbage

and the diving needs to stop.. holy shit.. not just ghana, the US dove all over the place too.. its just a crying shame that such a good sport is tarnished by this stuff

 

[Winged_Wheel88]

Maybe it's not such a great sport if all that stuff is in it to begin with?

 

[BOSSMANPC]

I bet Grapes hates soccer.

 

[puckhead]

I'm glad the GWG was a doozy though.

 

[Vadered]

Really wish the ref would have carded a Ghana guy for unsportsmanlike. We would have still lost, mind you, but the reason people stall (and we would have done the same thing, too) is because they don't think they'll be penalized for it. Simple economics, folks.
