Match Updates

Fulltime - It's an entertaining game. Each team dominated one half each but USA managed to get back in time

01:30: Yellow Card - Muntari takes Dempsey down. He'll be booked for that
01:26: Goal - Corner and Brooks heads it for USA, what a reply, its a winner
01:22: Goal - Gyan provides and Andre Ayew equalizes in an emphatic fashion. What a time to do so. Brooks is the culprit there
01:17: Substitution - Bedoya leaves the pitch, Zusi come in for Ghana
01:11: Substitution - Essien enters the game, Rabiu is replaced
00:59: Substitution - Boateng replaces J. Ayew for Ghana
00:46: Substitution - Besler is taken off at the halftime, Brooks comes in

Halftime - good game so far, USA kept attacking and Ghana kept coming back

00:45: Bedoya finds the target and Kwasarey's glove
00:35: Gyan shoots, Howard saves. Dempsey is bleeding through his nose - struck by Boye's boot
00:30: Yellow Card - Beckerman is down, Rabiu is booked for the foul
00:23: Substitution - Aron Johannsson comes in for injured Altidore
00:20: Altidore looks injured, it's his hamstring. He's being stretchered out
00:16: End to end stuff. Gyan misses Opare's cross, Altidore shoots but is blocked
00:01: Goal - Dempsey puts it in, off the post. Fastest goal this World Cup, 29 seconds is all it took. What  a start

United States of America

United States of America - Group G (Germany, Portugal, Ghana)

The US national team won third place in the inaugural 1930 World Cup, but their progress since has been topsy-turvy. They exceed their expectations in a tourney only to fail utterly in the next. They remain the only team outside Europe and South America to win a third place at a World Cup
