Did anyone actually watch this game who can give us USA fans a rundown on Ghana? Muchos rep for anyone who can. Anyway, all I know is that Ghana won 4-1 and the official scorecard. scorecard
good friendly for Jam, but why would Ghana wanted to play Jamaica.... i mean, england, paraguay and sweden should be playing jamaica and ghana should be playing canada, slovakia, france.... some team similar to their opponents is the WC
Considering the United States couldn't beat Jamaica once in three tries (two WCQs and a friendly) and that Ghana beat Jamaica 4:1, now I'm worried the United States will lose all three group stage games in the World Cup.
On the other hand, the USA beat Jamaica 3-1 in the Gold Cup last year. You can't really judge a team just from the final score. Especially when it's in a friendly. Don't worry so much.
All I saw were highlights of this one. Ricketts was rickety as usaul his inability to hold on to the ball was the reason for two of the goals. The other two goals were scored by deflected shots. Having not seen the whole game and based on that fact I would have to say the score was somewhat flattering.
I was surprised to find about the score. I know Jamaica has been struggling for some time now, but 4-1? This is 4-1 vs a team that had been struggling itself, and specially struggling to get some goals. Thumbs up for Ghana, and question marks for Jamaica. Metro
