The US national team was struggling to deal with the end of their fairytale run at the 2010 FIFA World Cup™ after their 2-1 extra-time defeat by Ghana in Rustenburg on Saturday night.
After giving up early goals to start the match and extra time, there was definitely a sense of shock on the faces of the American players. It was, after all, a contest that had a familiar look to the US's group contests – but with a much different outcome. "It was a bridge too far really. We can't just keep producing magical moments," said goalkeeper Tim Howard after the loss. He was referring to his side's hard-won reputation as comeback kings in South Africa after the Stars and Stripes had recovered from a goal down to hold England 1-1, two goals down to hold Slovenia 2-2 and then scored a last-gasp winner against Algeria to send them through from Group C.
