US defeated by Ghana in 2010 World Cup

Yesterday marks a sad day in the 2010 World Cup as the United States Soccer team fell short of a victory against their rival Ghana in the second round game.  The US fought hard to tie up the game after Ghana took the lead in the first half by scoring a goal within the first 5 minutes of the game.  Unfortunately as the two teams faced off in over time hours it was the Ghanan National team that came out victorious with another goal against the Americans.  The game was not without drama just like all the other games played by the underdog team. 

Granted the US played well however, faced against a better rival like Ghana, lost.  The US team has definitely come a long way but the question remains: "when will the US be a better team?"  A question which will only be answered with time.  Hopefully the lose towards Ghana will serve as a reference from which the US team can improve. 

I am however very proud of the US soccer teams efforts in the World Cup and their dedication, and I look forward to the future of US soccer.  Next World Cup will be better and I think we can expect to see great things from the US.

Until then I leave the US National Soccer team with this song by Hector Lavoe called "Todo Tiene Su Final"
