WC2010 Round of 16 - USA vs Ghana

congrats Ghana

no chance they'll beat URUGUAY

But let's hope they can do it to write history and knock dirty ugly urushite

The better team won.

Most noise I've heard so far in this world cup at the final whistle

Well done Ghana


Out you go Puro

USA - Ghana 1-2 FT

Great match, worthy winner, congrats!

Been a while we saw an African team in the WC 1/4 finals. Even without Ayew, they will give Uruguay a good run for their money.

lol, ohhh I see what you did there

Well done Ghana they can beat Uruguay to make the semi's

It was a good match, though Bradley is an idiot, his starting line-ups have all been shit, we then give up a goal early, and then he brings on someone else who does a better job than the guy Bradley named.

Ghana

Now thrash those overrated UR A GAYs

Maybe...Uruguay are not all that plus whole of Africa is for Ghana so it wont be easy.

I am wondering what was the reason for benching Altidore, US really struggled without him up front.

Ghana will be fine, they've got 5 days rest. Uruguay are nothing special, a special team doesn't struggle against South Korea like they did today. It will be weird seeing one of these teams in the semi's though.

I thought USA were quite good in the second half and Ghana were too easily opened up and didn't keep their shape well enough. Seems bit of a trend that they get worse towards the end of the match.

No Ayew

One of their players who I have been quite impressed by allthough I don't think he caused too much damage today. Hopefully no Muntari but I don't know how much depth they have really so I don't expect much against Uruguay who have a very difficult midfield plus defenders that can take care of Gyan. Plus the fact that they are tired and Boateng possibly being out I think this is where it ends.

He injured a muscle in his leg during the 1st half but couldn't go on.

You thought it would end last match, and you couldn't have been more wrong.


Ghana are going to win this.

Felt sorry for Ayew was a harsh card, but see no reason why Ghana are a dead man walking. Those guys are so fit they'll be able to play next match. Boateng is a key player for you, but also a liability. Was like he wanted a card at some point tonight.

Desailly could really do with figuring what country he's from.

Ghana can beat Uruguay. The Urus are slight favourites, because they have more firepower up front, but Ghana will be quite a challenge for them, even without Ayew.

Think it's a bit more than slight, but Ghana can win for sure.

Especially Ghana without suspended Ayew and possibly injured KP Boateng.

I didn't mean USA would give UR A GAY a better match - I meant UR A GAY would prefer to play USA than Ghana.

Ghana will prob control the game v UR A GAY but the South Americans have more firepower and willl be more efficient upfront.

Where is the sticky for Uruguay v Ghana ?

Sort it.

I hear Steve Jobs has created a new computer to mark the US teams achivement at the World Cup......its called....
the 'iLOST'

Got this from a coaching site...

Brian, will the American newspapers tomorrow carry the headline USA WIN 1-2?

I'm glad USA are out just so that I don't have to watch this c**t spitting while I'm trying to eat my dinner




I felt sorry for Mowbray when he got sacked by Celtic but then I saw highlights of his last game and he was spitting

Dirty c**ts

Glenn. You going to The Game tomorrow?

God only knows.. They will try and paint the best picture of there national soccer team thats there way forward. For me they did not do anything this WC special to show they are improving.

the worst thing about the USA is the way they deal with victory. Watching some of the players interviewed after a win you always get the impression they're going to do the full Gwenyth. Also they still don't seemed to have grasped that it's a team sport 'I achieved this' 'This is the result of all my hard work' etc etc

They were the #11 ranked nation at this tournament, qualifying for the knockout stages is a minimum requirement, they act like they're Cameroon '90.
