Sometimes I wonder how serious we take these friendlies.
Just caught the ITV highlights. Gyan was everywhere and deserved his goal. Also, amazing atmosphere from the Ghana support.
Messi scores a goal with two balls.

Arsenal...way to close in on United
As Gooner, I give up on our tittle chase
I wouldn't be surprised if Chelsea come to overtake us at this point
Madrid just dropped pts to Sporting
Mourinho's first home loss since 2002.
Valdes to the rescue.
Are Spurs going to have anyone available?
The injury list is getting worrying long. Only two defenders available.
Valdes to the rescue.
Had a great save in that game.
Inter getting worked by Schalke of all the teams.
Spain mulling over invitation to replace Japan in Copa America
• Organisers ask Spain to take part in tournament in Argentina
• Japan pulled out as nation focuses on disaster recovery
The world champions Spain have been invited to play in the Copa America following the withdrawal of Japan, according to the Spanish football federation's president Angel María Villar.
"Yesterday we received the official invitation, and we don't rule it out," Villar said at an event in Barcelona.
"Next week or the week after we will determine at a meeting of the board of directors whether we will accept the invitation."
Japan withdrew from this summer's tournament in Argentina following the devastating earthquake and tsunami last month. The Japanese FA president Junji Ogura said the priority was "to continue saving lives and rebuilding the country".
Villar said the approach would be given serious consideration. Should they take part, Spain would replace Japan in Group A, with the hosts, Bolivia and Colombia.
"I don't rule anything out when the request is made with affection and love, but at the same time taking into account the difficulties," Villar said.
"That doesn't mean we are going or not, but as president I have the obligation to take it to the board."

Just saw today's highlights...wtf is going on?! haha Anyway, my office already knows I have a doctors appointment tomorrow around 2:30. CARE FREE!
CARE FREE!
5 goals and not one by Messi, Villa, or Pedro (tho he didn't start). Great match tho I wish we got the clean sheet.
And I may think the Torres move is nonsense but he played well today. Too bad he couldn't get on the score sheet...almost did but Van de Sar made a great save.

Don't you just love the way Keita celebrates?
He seems so grateful and appreciative.
Gotta love Keita. Always ready when called upon, never lets up, and plays hard. Feel like he doesn't get the recognition he should for being a good player.
Prob my favorite on the team.....tho with so many I like hard to pick favorites
What we in the USA gave up.
Nilmar's version of the Xavi turn was brill.
I agree we gave up a gem, but I don't think he would have reached his full potential if he continued his training in America.
The next Iniesta
Born in Italy, Brazilian father but plays for Spain.
