I'm just happy that Nigeria is the youngest team of the last 16.
Nah they should be given all the support possible to focus solely on that next opponent. This WC is wide open. These dudes could really make a run and their own leaders are fukkin with them.

"I think you have to look at the body of work to appreciate what happened today," said Donovan, who was controversially omitted from the US roster. "The Ghana game was not a pretty game, today was not a pretty game, but that being said, the team did exactly what it needed to do to get through.

"Now had the Ghana-Portugal game gone differently and this result remain the same [for Ghana to finish second in Group G], everybody would be saying what a failure this is.

"So you have to keep it all in context, and you have to remember this exact scenario happened in 2002, where we lost the third game and got help [to advance]. In 2006, we were a sort-of-dubious penalty [awarded to Ghana] away from advancing out of the 'Group of Death' at that point, and everyone said what a failure it was.

"[In] 2010, we were two minutes away from going home as a huge failure, and it turned into a great success. And today we were a Ghana missed six-yard header, minutes after they scored their first goal, away from this being another disaster.

"So we have to keep it all in context. It's great what the team accomplished, but we're still only as far as we were last time, and the hope now is the team can do something special."


:whew: so fukking true. that missed header, thank you for bottling it so badly.
