Few questions for the US supporters:
why the fuck did Buddle not play?
Why did Clark get swapped after 30 min? (he didn't look any slower/scared than any of the other midfielders/defenders)

One of the biggest reasons I cant support the US is that by supporting the US, Im helping hype that bitch Donovan. This bitch literally does nothing for the US today for 120+ min and I have heard very little about his disappearing act. Had the US managed to win, all I would have heard about was his influence on the game. Please choose a Euro based american player and incessantly hype him instead of this bitch donovan.

Few questions for the US supporters:
why the fuck did Buddle not play?

My reasonings would be that Findley could attack Ghana's backline faster than Buddle could. Altidore and Findley are the pace, power combo, but Buddle and Altidore would've been all power with no pace up top. My guess is Findley brought balance.

How much balance... not much.

Why did Clark get swapped after 30 min? (he didn't look any slower/scared than any of the other midfielders/defenders)

Bradley said that Clark's substitution was "card based only."

Now I call bullshit Robert...

Ricardo Clark's blunder, as a holding midfielder cost the USA the first goal. He had no business being on that pitch tonight, and the reintroduction of Benny Feilhaber proved just that. There was no way Clark was going to mentally recover from that, and from the moment that goal landed, his eyes read, "shook."

Now had Benny been on from jump alongside Bradley we probably wouldn't have given up that first goal cause Benny keeps it simple in tight spots. There were two options to pass in that situation early on, and Clark chose neither. Benny would've found one, and gotten out of it.

But again i'm not the manager here. These are just my assessments.

Ratings are actually going up for the MLS.They are expanding every year till 2013 when they reach a full table. also the MLS is the 12th most attended league in the world

I dont get why American fans are so racist

I could never cheer for them because of this.

To be fair, every camp has their bit of racism. Having traveled this world, i've seee that there is racism towards everyone, everywhere you go.

But i'm no apologist for these clowns, and Piff is spot on. These are the ones who know little about the game, but want to glory hunt since we were doing good.

Pay them no mind, and don't associate US Soccer with this kind of fuckery.

How does MLS soccer compare to the other soccer leagues?

I support the Galaxy, but the MLS is really hard to watch.

List of leagues I much rather watch than the MLS:

La Liga(Spain)
Argentina Primera
Bundesliga(Germany)
Serie A(Italy)
EPL(England)
Campeonato Brasileiro

I could list more, but I don't want to be too mean.

I can't stand Donovan's bitch ass either. Like I said earlier Altidore, Dempsey, Howard, and a few others are cool, but Donovan and Bradley (the son/player) seem like dick heads.

^^^^ These. Fuck those bandwagon racist CAC's. I'm not a football (soccer) fan like that, but the World Cup is the shit. It has the best players and teams from around the world. Most people in the US could care less about the sport because "we" aren't good at it. Half the mutha fuckas who watched today were only doing it because the US won the game before. Those same people will forget about the tournament now that the US is out.

I love it. They can only lash out because their boys took a beating. And again, as someone else already said, how can you support a country that has fans like that? (Not all of them but a majority).

Ghana were lucky; the US earned its goals- what is wrong with the New York Times?

Tim Howard leapt as high as Richard Kingson did — two men in colorful costumes, performing an odd airborne pas de deux.

The difference was that only Kingson was allowed to use his hands at the Ghana end of the field, an indication the United States had run out of luck, had run out of time.

Kingson used one hand and punched the ball out of danger as he had done all night, one major reason Ghana was able to repel the United States, 2-1, in overtime and advance to the quarterfinals of the World Cup.

“We can’t keep producing magic-goal moments,” Howard said later, referring to the 120-meter stampede he had initiated last Wednesday to pull out a victory against Algeria.

This time, the Americans cannot blame an atrocious dive like the one that allowed Ghana to snooker a ref in their meeting in 2006, and they cannot blame a devastating call like the one that killed a goal they had earned against Slovenia last week.

The Yanks did it to themselves this time, with a mistake in the first half and a breakdown in the first overtime period, and that was more than enough.

The Americans are no longer naïfs or pretenders in this great tournament, but they also missed a chance to advance in the softest quarter of the draw. They were not as good as the skilled and disciplined Ghana team that did the continent of Africa proud. “It’s good for Africa, but I would have liked to disappoint them,” Howard said.

The Americans disappointed themselves. They are known for giving up early goals — “It’s certainly something we’re aware of,” Coach Bob Bradley said — and they did it again Saturday night.

Ricardo Clark, given another start because, Bradley said, he had been steady against England, coughed up the ball near midfield. The mistake was reminiscent of Claudio Reyna’s shocking loss of the ball to Ghana in the Americans’ third and last match of the 2006 World Cup. On Saturday, Ghana converted on the fly in the fifth minute. No nation can give up the ball like that and stay in the World Cup for the final two weeks.

Act as if you’ve been there before. Everybody, present company included, gushed over the very late goal by Landon Donovan that got the Americans past Algeria on Wednesday, but in fact, the Yanks had been in the knockout round within living memory of a lot of fans, and within muscle memory of three players on this squad.

So when the Americans’ hard work earned them a penalty kick in the 62nd minute on Saturday night, Donovan seemed oblivious to the commotion around him. He hit the post, but the ball bounced in for the tying goal. Donovan did not jump around as if he had been handed a gift.

“I thought the momentum had been going our way before that,” he said.

But in the third minute of the first overtime period, a high ball squibbed through two defenders, and Asamoah Gyan blasted it over Howard’s outstretched hands. Kingson continued to kick or punch or catch anything that came his way, even when Howard ran downfield in the final minutes and elevated himself for a ball he could not reach but Kingson could.

“Desperation,” Howard said.

The American players trooped to their bus, knowing they had missed out on a decent shot for the semifinals. Once again, Jozy Altidore and the other forwards failed to score. But at least the country is starting to accumulate a soccer history.

The 1-0 victory over England in 1950 can be delegated to the category of ancient history. Fans were not clogging the sports bars of America to watch that one on cable television — mainly because there was no cable and, if memory serves, there were no sports bars, either. That obscure victory only became legend decades later.

In 1989, there was the Paul Caligiuri goal in Port of Spain, Trinidad, that put the United States into the World Cup of 1990, setting in motion a full generation of observable, not glacial, improvement.

Only last year there was a nice run to the final of the Confederations Cup in South Africa.

Act as if you’ve been there before. The United States actually won a Round of 16 match in South Korea only eight years ago — a 2-0 thumping of Mexico in Chonju. The Mexicans have never quite been able to summon their old potent blend of seething hatred and true skill, away from Estadio Azteca, that is.

And American fans should not forget the quarterfinals in 2002, when the United States lost a 1-0 match to Germany, the ultimate finalist, after an obvious handball by a German player was missed, or overlooked, by the referee.

In 2006, the United States lost to the very same Ghana when the referee went for a made-in-Europe flop by a Ghanaian player who was within the same region as Oguchi Onyewu.

This time, the Americans were a more solid team than they were four years ago. They have been in the quarterfinals before. Will be there again. But not this year.

Those same people will forget about the tournament now that the US is out.

Bandwagon racist is exactly who posted on that board. I bet none of them pays any attention to Football on a normal basis. Being American I'm always going to put American Football and Basketball first, but I have mad love for the world's most popular game. I try and watch the European league whenever I can catch it and when the World Cup is on, I drop everything .

I love it. They can only lash out because their boys took a beating. And again, as someone else already said, how can you support a country that has fans like that? (Not all of them but a majority).

Unfortunately this is part of American sports. Not just in the World Cup but NFL, NBA, MLB, pretty much any professional sport. People here love a winning team and will act like they actually give a shit so they can share in the moment. They also want to act like they give a shit when the team loses so they can complain about shit they don't even know about. I pay that shit no mind. Every country has some shitty fans, it's not just US. I'm an American so I do want to see the team do well and hopefully get a chance to see Football taken more serious here. I'm not sure about anybody else, but I'm not going to let fake ass fans stop me from supporting anything.

I know a lot of people on here have no love for Donovan but what's so bad about what he said? Clark was trying to only blame himself for the loss and Donovan pretty much said the team lost the game and not him.
