Thirty seconds into America's first World Cup match of 2014 and the fearless captain Clint Dempsey scores.
Ghana is America's worst nightmare when it comes to the World Cup tournament. The country that is about the size of Oregon has beaten us twice before in this tournament. However, America shot off to an amazing start as captain Clint Dempsey scored for us.
Bleacher Report said that Dempsey, or "Captain America", as he has rightfully been named might be the most important player for us, and definitely is who the players will be looking to for leadership.
USA Todaydescribed the look of determination in Dempsey's eyes during our national anthem and said they knew that the theme for his game would be the same as the look he had.
America has unfortunately been place is the "group of death" as all the commentators are describing it as. We are placed along with Germany, Portugal, and Ghana all of whom are known for their soccer teams and their ability to advance highly in the World Cup.
Hopefully the rest of the game, and tournament follows suit.
