Ghana

[Sir Tokyo Sexwale]

I was pleasantly surprised by them yesterday. Some immaturity to their play & their keeper makes Jameo look like Reina, but I wouldn't write them off yet. Didn't see the Czechs, so I can't say that they have a chance against them or not.

czechs were ace

Aye. They'll batter Ghana if they defend like that again.

[D.Boon]

If Essien wasnt such a terrible striker of the ball they may have got a draw.

They just weren't that good. Italy were very efficient and the game against the excellent Czechs should be a cracker. Ghana and the US surely playing for 3rd spot in that group.

[Guest JamesA]

The Czechs should be able to deal with Ghana and then the game against Italy should determine who ends up with Brazil in the next round - shaping up to be a cracker. Must book my flight...

ghana lacked a couple of top class players at the back, otherwise they're not a bad side. bit more experience and a decent line-leading striker.

Problem for all the African teams apart from Ivory Coast, unfortunately.

I've always thought Essien was ordinary when I've seen him for Chelsea, but he looked very good last night.

Unlucky Yanks. The Ghana players are horrible diving little c*nts. Hope Brazil give them the battering they deserve in the next round.

Yes, the same Brazillians that do their utmost to remain on their feet. You really are quite bonkers.

 

Anyone else think Bruce Arena looks like Homer Simpson?

[Nebraska Red]

the immature team out there was wearing white shirts, the USA team showed a totally lack of invention and made Ghana's job very easy for them.

 

having said that, Ghana were cheats and divers and were lucky to get the penalty.

but he sounds like Lisa Simpson, a little on the twee side .

[Koller49]

Fifa wanted Ghana through.

[jimmylibel]

Anyone else think Ghana might do the Brazilians?

Depends what kind of words Fifa have with the Ref I'd imagine.

 

With Ghana's "tactics" though.. who knows.

[Rimbeux]

Fifa wanted Ghana through.

 

So they paid the Czech guy to get himself sent off, Koller to get injured, and Baros to do his foot on June 3, just to make sure

 

 

 

They were simply a better side than the Czechs and the USA here

Wooaahh..... where did I mention Czech Republic?

 

I was talking about the USA game.. did you see the penalty?

 

And the fact they roll about every time one of there players goes down in the last 20 minutes excessively. If you like that kind of stuff then fair play.

 

Calm down fella, don't want you gettin all worked up over this.

As a complete neutral watching that game I just thought they played ye off the park in the second half. They were running everywhere and your lot just didn't have the legs to compete.

 

I'm not sure Brazil will have either.

 

Can see there being quite a few goals in that game.

Ignore my post above so cos I thought you were talking about against the Czechs too.

[Koller49]

They battered the Czech Republic after a 60 second goal - without that it could of been different, but theres no saying they didnt deserve there win. I just don't like some of the stuff they do in the latter stages of games, and the diving they do throughout.

 

Once again people just like to jump down your throat on this forum though... Keep going Rimbeux.. im sure you'll get in with the mods soon! Might even invite you to the Oakie for a pint!

Takes three games to get through, all you did was make noises about corruption

 

Yep, it was a s*** decision, but they didn't get one they should have against Italy.

 

Also, they're far far from the only side whose players stay down when ahead in a game

 

Ghana are through cos they deserve to be

Honestly, what did you expect, you posted something just a bit provocotive no?

Ahh dear...

 

I'll leave you too it "la"

 

I'm sure they deserve to go through, all i'm saying is I don't like the way they go about it. Which is a shame because they actually play nice football on the ball - but they just use dirty tactics more so then necessary when they get the chance.

 

And yea - Theres deffo corruption, im sure of it

I posted my opinion on the way Ghana play, made a flippant comment about FIFA and you called me a dick and started spouting off about the Czech Republic.

 

I didnt expect that no.

Delighted the Czechs are out. It seems to be trendy to support them, but they are generally pretty sh**.

Had nothing without Smicer, Baros and Koller up front...

 

Bruckner showed no invention...

 

Was pretty much the opposite of Euro 2004. I'd imagine thats the end of the older players. They'll be back though, got some very good younger players coming through at 16-20.

 

I'd say its more "fashionable" on YNWA to hate the Czechs.
