Fan tweet on BBC, "And it's a touchdown in the first 30 seconds of the 1st quarter! Outstanding start to the World Soccer Series as Clint Dempsey advances into the end zone before rifling the soccerball between the sticks." hehe

The former AZ forward gets replaced by a current AZ striker.

Alkmaar Zaanstreek represented well! Johansson's pretty good, judging from what I've seen from him this year.

Ghanaians don't really look like they know what they're doing out there.

the USA have been defending well, they look a lot better coached than the Ghaneans to me.

But that's always the problem with those African countries, plenty of talent, but a lack of coaching and team cohesiveness does them in.

THAT's deserving of a card. Not the earlier one.
