We were absolutely outplayed.
I think this happened for 2 reasons. A) After the goal, Ghana felt immediate pressure to score. They became more aggressive and would have dominated possession against most teams, including those better than us.
B) Using a defensive oriented line-up, we had tons of guys who aren't great with the ball on their feet. Combined with Bradley's bad game, we ended up booting the ball a lot and doing a lot of kick and run. With Jozy going out due to injury, we had tons of problems executing a feasible kick and run strategy, since Aron and Dempsey are not guys who hold up play against physical defenders.
