USA lost to Ghana 3-1 in the last of the group matches 4 years ago, which knocked them out, yes.
I wanted USA to do well this World Cup, just because of the fact that it was raising the interest of football over there. I heard earlier that 17 million people watched the match against England. 21 Million people watched it in England, but football has always been a huge sport over here so that's to be expected. 17 Million is pretty huge, that's like 7-8% of the population watching a game of 'soccer'. And they had such a great opportunity to reach the semi's, with Ghana and Uruguay the teams they'd have to get past, two teams the USA could have beaten. Oh well.
