USA out of World Cup soccer

So, the party for USA is over ! – they lost to Ghana 1 to 2 in a match that they needed to win at any cost. Of course, that had to supplemented by Italy winning over Czech, which they did anyway. Last World Cup’s surprise Quarter finalists, the USA were hoping that they could repeat their performance of last World Cup but the Ghana team were too strong for them – both physically and on the field too. Talking of Ghana, what a World Cup it has been for them – they now go into the 2nd round and most probably will face Brazil (provided Brazil does not lose today).

Anyway, its hard luck for the US team – of course, soccer does not have such a huge fan following such as baseball, basketball or American Football – they were hoping that a good show here will help to improve awareness. I am not sure that will happen now – time for USA to think back and reflect on possible changes that can be done in the next 4 years.

Cheers,
