yeah...even injuried he did this:
To the 'muricans here, you played well, better than us but football can be cruel.
Our team lacks a coach,with huge balls. who don't put the same horrible players (meireles,veloso,pereira,postiga) and put younger players who can give something (william carvalho for example)
and ronaldo should have played as a striker.ffs scored more goals than any other player,can't move very well and still they want him to take control of the game?our coach is the worst.
still we are fucked.just a dram between US and germany and it's done for us and gana (which deserved to win yesterday)

Here's the problem though in that Portugal was playing everybody except the keeper all the way up. You really have no choice but to play everyone back.

even you can see that,only our coach can't see shit.

Agreed. Ghana are miles better than Portugal, and there is no way in hell Germany will be content with a draw. That give away by Bradley in the middle of the pitch with 30 fucking seconds left is inexcusable. The more I think about it, the more fucked off I get. Ideally, Portugal scores early and Ghana has to chase the game leading to a draw between them. Don't see the USMNT getting anything off Germany. Pretty clear that through 2 games, Portugal is the worst team in this group so its tough to see them getting something off Ghana, who was fantastic yesterday.

I said so too right after the game. But having cooled off, where was the rest of the team behind him? It looked like they were racing to catch up instead of having a calm, deep, solid back line with 30 seconds to go.

It's funny that Eder who played very very poorly the whole match (except maybe this spectacular attempt at an instant volley) is the one with the key steal in the end!
Well... funny may not be the right word there. Let's say it's one of these strange ironies that soccer often delivers.

The goal at the end was inexcusable coming from a cross like that since we brought on another Center Back. I'm eating my words a bit since Jones scored and I said at half time he had no offensive abilities (considering that was his first goal in 2 years I think I can be forgiven) but you can't put on a 3rd CB and then give away a headed goal. Great comeback, great overall play aided by some luck and Nani being total shit, just a bad goal to let in.

It was bad. Cameron lost his man (and he was the only fucking guy in the box!).
That entire sequence could come back to kill the team, and its a shame. They've done well this World Cup and have been really enjoyable to watch. Hoping Portugal have a draw in them... Muntari is out of that match and he's been great for Ghana.
