Happy Tuesday, 'Nova Nation! What a win for the United States last night - almost unfathomable considering how badly Ghana outplayed us in the second half - and after they equalized so late I had almost convinced myself that taking a point from that game would have been okay, especially with the injuries/suspensions that Portugal suffered in a massive defeat.
But with our own injury concerns to Jozy Altidore and Matt Besler, walking out of the stadium with all three points was absolutely vital. Enter John Anthony Brooks!
And now, the "news."
