<p>Bruce Arena again.......blabbing about not giving up an early goal. Let the game begin. Gotta say he should be thanking Czechs. So will this be another upset? Will the Italians go home crying?</p>
<p>wow.. complete madness on the pitch.. Zaccardo scores an auto goal.. now its 1-1 and daniele de rossi is sent off for elbowing mcbride (that was one hell of a hit by the way)</p>

What was up with waving the Israeli flag, at half-time and after the win? (One of the players from Ghana took it out - a very small hand-size one - and started waving it.)

<p>Most of Ghana's team members play for other countries during the season. They all got together to play as one team for the World Cup, that is why there is a lot of speculation about how far Ghana will go. They have great players, but they just haven't been playing long enough to create a chemistry as strong as the other teams. I'm glad the game with the Czech Republic proved that they can play well as a team.</p>
<p>That mastroeni red card was ridiculous. His tackle was barely worthy of yellow. It was a good point for the US, but now they have to beat Ghana and hope Italy beats Czech Republic. What a roller coaster of a game though. That offsides on Beasley's goal was so frustrating.</p>
<p>hahaha 3 red cards! the ref was hilarious!!!!!
Ghana vs Czech - Initially i wanted czechs to win so bad (wanted them in the final 4), but ghana deserved the win at the end.</p>
