Although the US has been eliminated in the World Cup, the passions continue today. Two huge matches with national pride on the line: England – Germany surely there will be no greater rivalry in the tournament and Mexico-Argentina a rematch of their clash four years ago.
The US has nothing to be ashamed of in its appearance, fighting mighty England to a draw and battling to a victory in a critical game’s dying moments. Here’s a video clip of Mulligans in downtown Hoboken where Americans display the true passion for the game loved the world over:
The United States fell today in its do or die match with Ghana 2-1 in overtime. Once again, yielding a soft goal at the five minute mark, the US looked uncomfortable the whole first half and midfielder Ricardo Clark a late addition to the starting lineup was pulled not long after a miscue led to the goal.
Tim Howard was uncharacteristically beaten on the short side on a surprise run down the left side of the US defense to give Ghana the early lead. Clint Dempsey made a brilliant run and was taken down forcing a penalty shot converted by Landon Donovan in the second half, now the all time leader in US history with six World Cup goals.
World Cup has taken over the attention and passions of people around the globe. The US a perennial underdog has fielded a team of veterans with unproven youth and a defense that is somewhat unsteady entering the knockout phase in the Round of 16. Who starts in the US central defense will be a key component in coach Bill Bradley’s choices today.
Today’s opponent Ghanna is a dangerous, physical and talented foe. Their defense has proven to be formidable but their finishing on opportunities leaves something to be desired. The US will look to run a disciplined tight game and force counters leaving the Ghanna defense flat footed and out of position wherever possible.

Mayor Dawn Zimmer will ask the City Council to vote on a proposal for the future of the City’s public works municipal garage at the upcoming Council meeting on July 14th.
“What we are proposing will save taxpayers hundreds of thousands of dollars and have no impact on any residential areas,” said Mayor Dawn Zimmer. “No traditional site-based solution comes close to the cost savings of this innovative approach.”
There’s continued movement now on the Municipal Garage front with substantial progress making its way forward. Although just earlier MSV indicated the Jersey City location had been dropped midweek, things are now looking better on another front.
That option not clear yet is apparently moving ahead and alleviates concern that Jersey City was a lost and best cause for a temporary garage location. There is a plan and it is moving ahead.
The progress is sufficient enough that next week’s special City Council meeting has been cancelled!
Tuesday night the variables for the Municipal Garage hit the table at the City Council and it’s proving to be a challenge even if the issues are now being discussed in a reasonable framework among its members. Even so, the clock is ticking and the small group who showed up from the public expressed a clear difference with the pace of the process moving forward with those who have a multitude of interests: financial, political, or both.
Dino Bogdanos a speaker at recent City Council meetings on the Municipal Garage, self cast in the role of third ward resident defender, again appeared before the City Council speaking on the issue. But his appearance doesn’t appear to be solely based on concern for residents.
Last night, Director of Transportation and Parking Ian Sacs held a community meeting at the Jubilee Center to discuss various issues with the public. A few dozen members of the public attended the meeting to listen and ask questions on transportation and parking issues.
