85% vs. 15%, but I think, it's going to be a close game.

not close gamewise, but scorewise. its just because ghananoobs +back all the time.

thanks.

+back and rail

yeah just like they played +back to win 2:0 over Czech Republic

with their backs to the czech i guess

lol

"Brazile" is going to win me some es$$$$

i hope ghana gets crushed and humiliated

why h8?

Bitter yank.

oh yeah LAMO @ USA \:D/

I don't think people who live in countries who didn't even make it in at all ought to be tossing stones...plus I laid a small bet down ON ghana and hope they win...brazil is overrated.

Brazil overrated? Whaaaaat? Please explain why.

Brazil is overrated??? wtf?
1)Defending world cup champs
2)#1 ranked team
3) Ronaldinho "fifa player of the year"
4) Ronaldo (possibly the future record holder)
5) ... ffs just look at the roster...

I agree that Brazil is by far not overrated, but your logic is flawed. Take the big names in the English team for example, the team is still uber shit ;>

I wasn't completely correct on how I wrote that down. =P I was trying to show aside from individual strength the whole roster in general works so well together. Not to say that having Ronaldinho directing traffic isn't such a bad thing for them. The flow they have among themselves is i.m.o. unmatched so far.

hehe because i want to see the flashy brazil that ive been hearing about but not seeing :(

and of course because they owned the U.S. team, but the current US team is nowhere near world cup material -- but neither is Ghana, and I want the brazil to show them how to pick one someone smaller than you :) (soccer-wise)

:(

ghana is the suprise of the wc

ghana is a good team! i hope they can win this!

BOATENG, TRE POÄNG!!!

would be nice to see the under dog make a huge upset

Damned high odds, always make me lose my ESR$.
Go Ghana, you can do it!

lol :)

GO GHANA !!!!

im with you. :)
GO GHANA!!

yes!!

im always inn for the underdog!

Ghana are a very physical side like Australia with the ability to put the ball in the back of the net me thinks.

Betting that Ghana win because those aged players like Cafu and Roberto Carlos will be back that don't really bring much to the side plus unlike that great match against Japan, they just wont have that spark called Robinho to match.

Ghana 2 - 1 Brasil

The "problem" with the Brasilian squad is that with every 11 players that go in, 10 of them can create a goal out of nowhere (the 11th being the goalkeeper).
Brasil is always a favourite whether they're playing well or not, they just have that natural talent.

I'd argue that point about their keeper not being able to score from no where, their reserve keeper is known to be the next Chilavert of the Brasil free kick scene !

But I really see them stumbling just as Argentina almost did against Mexico

Fair enough, Argentina was also a big favourite and almost went to penalty kicks, where it would be the luck of the draw.
It could happen.

Think you underestemate just how great the South African teams have been in this World Cup... the African's Nation Cup is really preparing them well for tournaments like this and in all honesty Brazil aren't the team that once mesmerised our eyes.

2 - 0 Brazil at the moment however if Ghana take off like I think they could it will end up 3 - 2 to Ghana

Just like i said, Brasil is the kind of team that runs twice at the goal, and they score twice, like they did just now (half time).

And i know just how good African teams are, it's just that they're now quite good enough. Gana had 2 great chances on goal already and missed them both, that's the main diference between them and Brasil.

Don't know exactly about Ghana, but Winnie Schaefer, former German coach of Cameroon, predicted that once the african teams are able to sort out their internal issues they'd be a much stronger force to reckon.

I agree with him, saying that once any of those top4-5 african teams had an organisation and preparation anywhere near as professional as the big nations, they should consistenly be able to place within the top8 with one or 2 teams, based on the amount of talent.

I just hope Ghana is on that way and will win tonight ;)

Too bad Essien can't play for Ghana. He's their best player.

450 on THE GHANA !!!!!1111eleven!!!

And another nice ref.

lmao @ ref ;-(

Go Ghana, You can do it!

nice ref 2-0

nice :P

Lots of respect to Ghana, extremely well played. And a lot of *backflips* to Dida for winning me esr $$ *\o/* Brazil playing like this won't last against Spain ( don't hate!!! )/Germany/Argentina. Of course, Congratulations to Ronaldo =o Love them or Hate them, everyone in some form or another agrees that Brazil is always a team to beat in the WC.

No match without bad decisions from referees. It is getting really annoying.

what was the bad decision in this game? I must've spaced it out. The 2nd goal?!

yep it was a offside goal!

man its so sad that ghana has to go, they dominated the brazilian team. but its their own fault...u have to score if u have that many chances!! if i was the coach i would start teaching them how to shoot on goals ffs!!

unlucky ghana, didnt deserve 3-0
