What annoys me so much about that is Ghana were shit. Absolute shit. They had one good moment. The first goal was totally gifted by Clark and Howard. The second was horrible defending but fair enough it was a nice goal. We have no one up top that can do what that guy did.

Why Bob Bradley insists on starting a terrible lineup is beyond me. I cannot for one second understand the reasoning behind starting Clark again (after he hadn't played since England) and Findley is just a waste of space. Its clear what our best line up is, its Feilhaber instead of Findley and Edu over Clark. Why is it some mystery why we always start poorly and come on in the second half? Its not a mystery at all, Bradley waits till the second half to put in our best lineup. Not rocket science.

The fact is were never really going to get anywhere until we develop some strikers that can score goals. Simple as that. Jozy played like he had the swine flu. Findley is always awful. Buddle and Gomez are just mediocre.

Too many no shows. Donovan was mediocre at best. Howard was bad. Clint Dempsey was BY FAR the man of the match. Feilhaber was good. Strangely enough Bornstein was good. Cherundolo was awful.

I'm happy with the way they played for the most part but the starting lineup was just baffling. The team overall was exciting and didn't flake out like in 2006.
