    Really?!

    Ghana get forward well but never really have the finishing touch.

    Yeah seriously, guess I underestimated the USA a bit too much!

    Am I only the one with the feeling that there could be a dramatic last minute winner from Landon Donovan, runs to the corner flag. Everyone jumps on him. When he eventually gets up he whips off his jersey to show a t-shirt with 'That's For You Bianca' emblazoned on it?

    Are you a film writer?

    Altidore is the yank version of Emile Heskey. Except worse.

    The US would be sensational if they had a striker.

    Well the USA have been really hyped up and you were right to think that Ghana would at least put up a battle but I think they rely on Gyan and Ayew too much.

    C'mon USA!!

    Lads, I have a bet on America to win against Ghana:

    Win
    Single: USA @ 6/4

    If they win in ET or Penalties, can I still win? Or have I lost the bet now that full time is over?

    Oof! Ghana defence giving me chest pains.

    I reckon USA are playing with fire with a 3 man midfield though.
    Speaking of chest pains...

    A decent game Bill. I knew the USA would come back at them, they are a second half team.

    wouldnt agree with that. I think its been a good game. Ghana in the 1st half and USA in the 2nd. Ghana have dipped since Boetang went off.

    ET will be interesting. will it go to pens???

    The bet is over 90 minutes. If you put "usa to qualify" it's different

    Could have easily got Bocanegra sent off if he went down. Glad he didn't and he took the goal well. Is that 2 or 3 for Gyan now?

    Kingson, the Ghana keeper looks very dodgy to me.

    What's all this "belief" the RTE colour commentator is going on about. "He didn't believe in it, so he never really hit it". "The USA don't believe they can get back into this"

    I never knew football was a game built entirely on faith or belief.

    He needs a new word tbh, at this stage I'd rather he shut up than talk about belief again...

    Thanks for that....never heard it callled that though, sounds very American to me.

    Could you not have said co-commentator or Ray Houghton?

    I could have said co-commentator but he's not adding anything to the commentary if you ask me, more colour/fluff/"belief" than anything ;) And was I able to have identified the voice as Ray Houghten I would have said Ray :D

    Let me sum this up, Ray is shite.
