USA vs Haití. Dempsey does it again.

Game was played today in San Diego.  Many expected USA to thrash the Haitian team after Mexico pummeled Cuba yesterday.  The first 25 to 30 minutes was actually surprising as the only thing I saw was blue shirts attacking and testing the American defenders. About the 30th minute, the stars and stripes started playing a lot better with a few good plays but resulted in no direct shots towards the goal.   The second half was a different story as Jozy Altidore was substituted out for Gyasi Zardes and immediately as USA took possession a nice pass combination allowed Clint Dempsey to score his 3rd goal in the tournament.  Haiti had a very good chance when it was 1 vs 1 against the American Goalkeeper Brad Guzan but had a hell of a save. Just a few minutes later, Haiti had another great chance when one of their players just timed his header and hit it incorrectly. 5 minutes later another great chance by Haiti, a header just went wide off the goal.  Good attacking display of both sides and Haiti tried many times to get an equalizer. At the end,  the lone goal by Deuce Dempsey sealed the deal.
