This is a snippet of what Roger Bennett of ESPNFC had to say of the USA's performance against Ghana:
This is what we are made of then: A tenacious victory in which the back line made 45 clearances, most by a team in any World Cup match since 1966. The attackers conjured two touches within 20 yards of Ghana's goal (one was Brooks' goal) after Jozy Altidore departed. And a total 90 minutes in which goalkeeper Tim Howard led the team with 61 touches.
Yet still win.
And what could be more American than that?
I think that was pretty well said.
