How did the Ref bias against them? By not giving them 2 clear penalties?
Also,

Only about 3.9 million Americans watched Brazil beat Germany in the final of the last World Cup, four years ago, according to Nielsen Media Research. That's a sliver of the 1.1 billion world-wide viewers calculated by Infront Sports & Media of Switzerland. This year, an average of 2.6 million people in the U.S. watched each of the first eight games of the World Cup on the Spanish-language Univision Television Network, almost triple the 900,000 who watched each of the first eight games of the 2002 contest, according to the network.

I would assume that more americans would watch a match involving the US and that they have a combined spending power much higher than that of Ghana.
