1 goal, 1 group point, "ghana"

it is sad that the us soccer team is done at the world cup

espn.com declared the exit with the headline: "Going, going, Ghana!"

i am thankful that the team left germany with a goal of their own

it was a pretty strike finishing off a slick steal and perfect pass

i still hope

in my lifetime the us will make it to the world cup final

the team has youth, natural leadership and it has hunger

i appreciate what some of the vet players did for the national team

the olders players carry the scars of this nation's brutal soccer history

the next four years must be about cutting out the scar tissue so that youngblood can flow

flow and allow the youth core to play with pace and shape (not just passion) from end to end of the pitch

and past the group stage

for now go ghana!
