US Eliminated From FIFA World Cup By Ghana…Again

United States  Landon Donovan reacts with dejection after the second goal by Ghana during their 2010 World Cup second round

After four years of planning, two years of qualifying and months of training, Howard and the rest of the U.S. soccer team will wake up Sunday morning with nothing more to look forward to than a long flight home.

“We’re not getting up for practice, that’s for sure,” the U.S. goalkeeper said. “That part’s sad. It’s disappointing. It’s hard. It hurts.”"It’s hard to put your emotions into words,” he said, his voice catching. “We are going home.”

And for the second time in as many World Cups, they’ve been sent there by a speedy and resilient team from Ghana, which earned a 2-1 victory Saturday on a memorable goal from Asamoah Gyan three minutes into 30 minutes of overtime.

Four years ago, Ghana knocked the U.S. out in a first round in which the Americans went winless. This time the end came in the second round, which the U.S. entered unbeaten.

And although that might qualify as progress, it doesn’t make the result any easier to take. Especially because this was a game the U.S. thought it should have won.

    Some of y’all talking about what country y’all from(JP-side eye_ u dnt realize that although these men are americans they play for the english premiere league. Americans its called football. the one y’all back-foot hillibilees play in america is called Rugby but with extra padding. and guess what u mofo’s? yes its a english game. the only unique came that americans probably own is baseball

  • Moanmyname

    M.o.f.o’s and game. typo error

  • David Milton

    So nice to see such blaque domination on the world stage. The time is now for black people to rise up like the kings and queens they are! This wasn’t a game of soccer, this was about black and blackness.

  • Reality

    @ Jay the Real one, we are all one the ones always race bating are probably not black. We need to open our eyes for the truth is always there. Lord bless us all. Crazy African teams apart from Ghana though they would get the cup on a silver plate :)

  • South African Sista…

    I’ll be attending Ghana vs Uruguay this Friday. Team Africa United all the way! GO GHANA!!

  • White Devil

    The U.S. has a good soccer team. They are not a top team like Brazil or Germany. But they are one of the second tier teams like England.

  • 2dimplzs

    I’m so glad the US lost. The media talked so bad about Ghana like they were nothing, like they were some disgusting gnat that the US could just sqauash. That really pissed me off. I rooted for all African nations that played in the FIFA cup and I always will. The US is so pompous it makes me sick to my stomach!!!

    I heard that Ghana’s governement spends half of it’s money of soccer team. Yet, they are still in the stone age and still believe in witch hunts.

  • Ms. Dominican Republic

    @ MENOOONE eh!!

    I went to an African Elementary school I knew about Ghana’s past as one of the great kingdoms along with Mali, Songhai and Senegal. I never said that Ghana was a horrible place it’s just has some backwards views. I’ve been told by many Ghanaians that they have frequent witch hunts and they actually execute these so called “witches”. If Ghana has so many resources why don’t you use them to better your country or profit from them inside of letting the White man steal?

    I know my history. Not all Dominicans have Black ancestry.My ancestors are Black, Taino, Spanish, French and Chinese. My great-grandfather was a Chinese immigrant from the Fuijian province in China.My actual African ancestors were Yoruba Nigerians. Most of the African influence is from Nigeria/Yoruba culture.So you Ghanaians can’t take credit for this one. I’m tired of all you arrogant Africans thinking that we have to follow your culture. We have our own culture that doesn’t involve stoning, hitting women in public and segregating men and women.

    The Dominican Republic is still doing better than Ghana, The DR is considered the second happiest country after Costa Rica. Let’s forget that we have some of the best looking and exotic people in the world. We have some of the best beaches, music, and food.

  • Ms. Dominican Republic

    @ MENOOONE eh!!

    You can’t even spell or write coherent sentences.You’re the one who needs to go back to pre-school. I thought all Africans took education serious?

    I think you’re just mad because my country is much more beautiful than yours, we get more visitors and tourists and Dominican women look way better than Ghanaian chicks. I think 90% of the world would rather live in the Dominican Republic than stay a night in Ghana.

  • MENOOONE eh!!

    The current country Ghana has little to do with the ancient Ghana EMpire..and I am sorry to hear you think people are executed for witchcraft..you dont have a clue what you are saying and if I were you I would stop before come out with more stupid things…

    My Sister in law is from Domincan republic…and I have several freinds who volunteer there..

    When you learn a little bit more about world economics and who controls the free market and who sells teh raw products..then we can have a discussion..right now you ignoranc eis plain irritating…

    Ciao a tutti

  • Jennifer ANISTON

    @ Ms Dominican Republic

    The country’s economic progress is exemplified by its advanced telecommunication system.[11] Nevertheless, unemployment,[1] government corruption, and inconsistent electric service remain major Dominican problems. The country also has “marked income inequality”.[1]

    ( WIKIPEDIA)

    IT DOESN’T LOOK LIKE YOUR COUNTRIES PROBLEMS ARE FAR OF GHANA’S THE TWO ARE BOTH RANKED “3RD WORLD COUNTRY” PLEASE LETS HAVE SOME SILENCE PLEASE!!!!

  • MENOOONE eh!!

    I dont think its even worth it to point out the negativity in any country, unless we are seeking to address the problemd.somebody classified several countries as third world and it is out duty as people of these third world nations have to do the best we can to improve our lot.

    Its not a coincidence that we have raw materials in abundance yet “first world nations” get to tell us how much they want to pay for it..

    Unity is important among peoples of African descent irrespective of dilutions…and beleive me no one in African is a 100% Black either…but thats besides the point..we own our African heritage!

    It pains me to know that a young black woman is that ignorant about her heritage and will spread misinformation about countries she has little knowledge of to raise her ego and proudly claim her non blackness based on racial mixtures…there is nothing wrong with a mix and Ghana has its fair share of mixes, we acknowledge that and we embrace the differnt races ,.. since Africa is far from homogenous. …we just like to uphold our heritage..Proud to be African!
