World Cup: U.S. beats Ghana 2-1
Natal, Brazil -- It’s all starting to come together.
The U.S. team’s route out of pool play in this World Cup, which looked muddled and confused Monday morning, had become as clean as Michael Bradley’s bald head by Monday evening following the Americans’ physical 2-1 win over Ghana in Natal and Germany’s 4-0 pummeling of Portugal in Manaus.
The U.S. goals came from Clint Dempsey in the opening 30 seconds, the fastest goal by an American in World Cup history, and John Brooks in the 86th minute, four minutes after Andre Ayew had tied it for Ghana.
