Ghana being allowed too much time on the ball. I don't think that's a good strategy. I quite fancy Ghana will find a way to win this. Hate to even say that but they are the better team with more dynamic play
I just found out Marco Rodriguez is the ref for Belgium - Algeria...boy if there any Belgium fans, hope he leaves his protagonist hat at home. That's the fastest card in the west and won't think twice on yellow/red cards.

Ghana could have won, but they missed chance after chance. The US didn't play well, but a win is a must at this stage.
We played poorly except for Dempsey's brilliant goal and the corner kick winner. Bradley is awful in the 1st half. But mission accomplished we got the 3 points.
We just have to draw Portugal and Germany and the U.S. will advance to the next round.
Belgium battled back to gain the 3 points. As a United fan, I was amazed to see Fellaini play a big part in the victory! He never does anything for United!! Haha.
In the second match today, I have a feeling that Mexico may cause an upset by beating Brazil. No, I haven't been drinking! Lol
I am hoping the refs come out with a bias. If they go out calling the game in favor of Brazil we won't stand a chance. We can play 11, but not against 12.
I am hoping for at least a draw. If cause more than a draw, I don't guarantee my soberness for the remainder of the day
I felt my heart stop with those two saves. Brazil with the 5 mids are tough to pass. The ref has definitely allowed too much hitting from Dani Alves, a yellow on his 2nd foul would have stopped him.
Good game though it's tough but I would take this 0-0 any day
