Football Is About Scoring Goals!

The USA's Devastating Loss:

The USA played against Ghana on June 26-2010 in South Africa. This is the second time that The USA was defeated by Ghana in a World Cup match. And the media Pundits and USA players are all crying out loud that they should not have been defeated by a state with the size of Oregon, and with a small population.

Now what does this have to do with the US loss to these African Titans?

* Firstly, the Ghanians played a very creative, disciplined, defensive, and offensive game. The total package was their forte.

* The Ghanians are fitter, can outlast the US players anytime with longevity on the field. And does not tire easily.

* And almost every Ghanian player can score a goal.

* The US players on the other hand are more offensive with their game strategy, and seem not to too keen on playing defensively. Until they find themselves in serious trouble. Then they expect ONE player (Donavan) to score a goal.

Until the US soccer team can acquire GOAL scorers, and Strikers that can guarantee an early goal in any game. The US will find themselves always having to defend everytime.

However, it was a very good match between these two teams. But the Ghanians had more reason to be victorious, because they were the only African team left standing, and they STOOD UP indeed at the final hour for Africa.
