The U.S. men's national team's World Cup run came to a tighten on Saturday, as it was eliminated for a second straight time by Ghana by a measure of 2-1.

It was deja vu all over again for a United States, as it authorised an additional early idea when Ricardo Clark was dispossessed nearby midfield before Kevin-Prince Boateng hit a shot to a front post only 5 mins into a game.

Landon Donovan would lift a Americans level, converting a chastisement flog drawn by Clint Dempsey in a 62nd minute. The equalizing goal, which was a perfect set upon that stung off a right post as good as went in, was Donovan's third of a tournament, tying him with 5 other players for a tournament's best.

The game entered additional time, as good as a American invulnerability again unraveled early as Asamoah Gyan would measure 3 mins in. A gassed U.S. group pushed for an equalizer, but never found it.

Here have been a compare highlights, as good as from a Uruguay-South Korea match:


Superb Suarez set upon sends Uruguay to quarters

Luis Suarez scored twice, together with a superb shot in a second half, to launch Uruguay to a quarterfinals of a World Cup for a first time given 1970 with a 2-1 win over Korea Republic.

Suarez opened a scoring in a eighth minute, taking advantage of a sleeping Korea Republic behind line to get on a end of a Diego Forlan feed from tighten range.

Korea Republic would respond in a second half, when Lee Chung Yong rose to head a round over Uruguay goalkeeper Fernando Muslera in a 68th minute.

Suarez would henceforth reclaim a lead for Uruguay with a magnificent effort twelve ! mins lat er. The Uruguayan striker received a pass on a left side of a chastisement area, sidestepped his defender as good as twisted a shot off a far post as good as into a behind of a net.

Uruguay will face Ghana in a quarterfinals on June 2.

Here have been a compare highlights:
