    His roster decisions nearly sank us. Full credit to the players.

    Naah, they are in our rear view mirror.

    Actually, there seemed to be good sportsmanship and mutual respect from both sides, helping each other up after collisions, which was nice to see.

    I dunno. Kind of lucky IMHO. Need to play way better against Portugal. This was the most undeserved win I have ever seen.

    Are people seriously criticizing Klinsmann's tactical decisions? Really?

    You do know that's a contradiction right? The players who saved us are the same roster decisions that nearly sank us? Yeah that makes no sense

    Gibberish.

    Zusi and Brooks combined for the second goal, both were brought by Klinsmann. If subs win you the game, you normally credit the coach.

    Congratulations, US. Not a particularly good, but a very dramatic match, and you pulled through.

    Blame Klinsmann for his team's match fitness, perhaps. But his subs dramatically helped the team's chances to win.

    I'm sorry, but no. He gets credit for an injury sub and Clint's great goal?

    Great header by Brooks. Not strategy.

    Didn't watch the first half. Could one of you tell me how bad Altidore's injury looked to be?

    I agree, goal scorers get all the love, but that was Jones best performance for the U.S. ever.

    talk about some irrational exhuberence. If it werent' for a very timely header and some poor Ghana finishing, this place a morgue right now. If we play anything like that against Portugal, we'll get beat, and probably pretty handily.

    Lets not pretend like Johanssen did a falking thing. Beazley is a marked man, and our players look tired as hell.
