Big expectations as U.S. meets Ghana in World Cup

Going into a second-round World Cup match is a big step and for U.S. is so much more. A victory they will advance to a quaterfinal matchup vs Uruguay or South Korea on July 2nd and match the farthest the U.S. team has advanced since the first World Cup in 1930!

"If we continue to build on the successes so far, we can go to the end," coach Bob Bradley said Friday.  "You want to have a team that the people who care about...and follow that team and root for that team and can feel part of," coach Bob Bradley said Friday.  "A team that people believe in and a team that people are proud of. That's part of our responsability, and we're excited in the moment that there's that kind of feeling."

In the other hand, "Ghana is the African hope now," defender Samuel Inkoom said. "We aren't going to disappoint them."

Tomorrow's games:

Uruguay vs South Korea at 7:00 am

United States vs Ghana at 11:30 am

Go Uruguay, Go USA..... 

Clinton sticking around....

Former President Bill Clinton liked what he saw from the U.S. World Cup team so much, he's staying for the next game. He changed his schedule so he can attend the USA's game against Ghana on Saturday in Rustenburg.  "I lost my voice yesterday, I had to come home and drink hot tea with honey for an hour." Clinton said. "I was very diplomatic until we scored, and then I was up there screaming and yelling with everybody."
But, his primary purpose in Africa is to promote the U.S World Cup bid to FIFA's 24-member executive committee, which will select the 2018 and 2022 hosts in December.  Well done, Mr. Clinton - bring us the World Cup in 2018 - it will be a refreshing change.....
