Referee Rating: USA v. Ghana

Again I'm not going to rate the ref live as I want to be fully focused on the game.

Viktor Kassai of Hungary is doing this game. He's already done Mexico v. Uruguay and Brazil v. North Korea.

Bleh.

Kassai did a good job. In my biased opinion he missed a couple other penalties. One in the second half and one in extra time (the push on Edu). Overall a good game though by the ref, Ghana, and the US in the second half. Our defense was always the weak spot, but I'm happy with the USA's performance this World Cup. We did much better than last Cup (though that wasn't terribly hard to do, almost anything we did would be better than '06) and fought hard.

I'm still bummed by the loss to Ghana. Thought the US was the better team, but Ghana made the two break away shots, with the last shot a great goal with a great strike over Howard.
US missed too many opportunities to score.
But, winning the group was a great improvement.
