Ok, so I'm manager of the USA National Team.
Never have I seen a game so dead set on me doing horribly.
We're 9th in the World. We get put into the group of death with Brazil (1st), Ghana (5th), and Russia (12th).
First game was against Brazil, they beat us 1-0. Fine enough. Meanwhile Ghana beat Russia 1-0.
Second game is against Russia. We score a goal to go up in the third minute. They score in the 94th (of what was only suppose to be 2 minutes of injury time). So we draw, while Brazil beats Ghana 2-0.
So heading into the last game, we need to beat Ghana to finish second in the group. A tie won't do anything, we need a win. We score first, and after that Donovan goes down with an injury. Then Dempsey. Then Howard. Then they're awarded a penalty, but it hits the crossbar. Then they get another penalty, but my back-up keeper saves it. Then they say three minutes of extra time, but the game goes to 102 minutes! We held on to win 1-0, so we advance.
We'll lose in the Round of 16, but it was nice to advance after feeling like they tried to screw me eight ways from Sunday.
