That PK was BS.

Ghana should send a Thank You note to the ref, if they win by one.

It breaks my heart against the Ghanians but I root for USA! USA!

yes, the penalty was major BS. Hang in there Tacos!!!!

I think we're just making sure Ghana's goalie can catch.

Hint: he can.

Finally, a decent opportunity! Too bad it went off the post.

I should've gone to the bar to watch. MatchCast bites.

I was going to go to a bar to watch both games, if things were looking good in the second half.

As it stands, I'm shouting like a mad-man, alone, in my office. (Much to the amusement of people who work outside my office, and have never heard me raise my voice.)

must make this.

WTF was THAT, Donovan??

posted by I Love Tacos 22 June | 10:43

Well it's official.

Congrats Ghana. Even discounting the horrible ref, they deserved to draw. The US sucked it up.

posted by I Love Tacos 22 June | 10:59

Yeah, the US made a poor show in a tough group. Maybe next time.

It's nice to be the minnow sometimes. Doesn't hurt so bad to start rooting for the big fish now.

oh! well.

posted by carmina 22 June | 11:03

You win this round, Ghana!

But just wait until our CIA engineers a rebellion against your government!

But we can pull an Iran, or a Panama, or a Venezuela, or....

Ramix, are all Ghanaians incredibly gorgeous, or is it just you and every member of the Ghana football squad?
