2010 FIFA World Cup USA vs Ghana Highlights

Black Stars, who are the only representative of the African giant's first FIFA World Cup, Uruguay will meet in Johannesburg, July 2. They become the third African country before the last eight World Cup, when Cameroon in 1990 and 2002 in Senegal.

West Africans stunned the USA only five minutes after Ricardo Clark gave away possession in midfield. Boateng ran the defense and, after moving the ball to the left, a great goalkeeper Tim Howard at his near post with a left footed shot from the edge of the area. Left reeling, the United States were second best until the break. Their best in the initial period came in the 35th minute when Jonathan Mensah gave the ball to his third Clint Dempsey. The man Fulham slipped the ball to Robbie Findley, who has led right into the Richard Kingson, but the keeper reacted well to put the left foot. Coach Bob Bradley reaction to a lackluster first half performance was to bring the midfielder Benny Feilhaber to mid-passage time and almost immediately paid off.

As the second half wore on, the US continued to ask questions of the Ghana defence, but Kingson saved the Black Stars twice in succession. In the 68th minute, he raced 15 yards off his line to clear the ball at Altidore's feet, and eight minutes later he got down well to smother Michael Bradley's shot after the coach's son had beaten the offside trap. Altidore had another chance in the 81st minute, but the defence did just enough to put him off and he fired wide from ten yards.
