Ghana are getting so much space wide.
And the US almost concede! A cross comes in, and Gyan puts it on target. Howard makes a great left-handed save to keep it level.Sub: Jordan Ayew off, Kevin Prince-Boateng is on.
As soon as Boateng is on the field, Howard is forced to come off his line to collect a dangerous ball at the feet of Gyan. -
Bradley needs to get into this game for the Americans. Jones can't do it all in midfield.by Simon Evans via twitter 6/16/2014 11:21:19 PM

Atsu's teammates are pissed at him. AGAIN he cuts in from the right and in space hits a long shot with his left. It's high and wide AGAIN. Tim Howard wasn't troubled at all, he had the angle covered.
Jones gets a solid shot that Kwarasey pushes away.
And Gyan has ANOTHER chance. This one is blocked by Cameron. The corner is as bad as they had been. Boateng skies his shot. The US need to get some possession to calm this down and sort out their defense. With better finishing, this would be level. -
