Several US players dealing with injuries at World Cup

The U.S. World Cup team charter flight resembled a MASH unit Monday night after the Americans’ stirring 2-1 victory over Ghana in Natal.

Forward Jozy Altidore had a considerable limp after going down with a strained left hamstring, and he told reporters as he left the stadium that he was “crushed” at the thought that his World Cup could be over. He was in tears, with his hands over his face, as he was carried off the field on a stretcher.
