U.S. Hopes Offense Gets Going Vs. Ghana
U. S. shots at the World Cup have been scarcer than tickets. The Americans have just one shot on goal in their first two games. Every other nation has at least four. There's been only one U. S. goal - scored when Italian defender Cristian Zaccardo knocked the ball into his own net.
"It takes the opportunity. It takes the right mind-set. And sometimes it takes a bit of luck," U. S. forward Brian McBride said Tuesday, two days before the Americans' must-win match against Ghana.
If the Americans don't beat Ghana, they're goners, needing a victory and most likely an Italian win over the Czech Republic to advance. McBride had a shiner under his left eye, the result of an Italian elbow in Saturday's 1-1 tie. It was a vicious game, and he aged a year since then, turning 34 on Monday.
