Why can't they play like this in the first half of matches?

I think it's for away game rule but that's a bit disturbingly colorful jersey for Ghana. Ivory Coast had funny one against Brazil match. But liked the jersey colors in Ghana-Germany match...Black on white & White on Black.

Anyway, let's get back to the match...it's now Ghana-1 & USA-1! This game is getting pretty intense.

They can't shake off their regular habit of sucking in the first halves and then getting a good hard kick in their asses during the break.

...only explanation I can think of.

Roshiq, whatever it is you're smoking pass it over here. :p

They're all doped in the second half.

Totally agree with V. They need the 1st 45 minutes to get the momentum in every game and then begins to play some class football.

Great match...

Indeed. Some really fantastic football in the past 20 mins.

5 minutes remain...

Looks like we are headed for an extra double session of 30 minutes, people.

I think Bob Bradley is one of the most coolest team managers in this tournament besides the Spanish and North Korean coach. :)
