Round of 16: Ghana - USA

[Stefan]

The black stars to go through imho. Will be a good game butI reckon the better technical side will get it done.

 

[Fitzy]

USA will win. Donovan will be very important for the US in this one.

 

[Besnik]

I think USA can do it even this time. But also Ghana was great team in the group stages and I won't be surprised if they go through.

USA ftw!

 

[blackmore]

USA for me, ghana just look a little sluggish to me.

 

[FCBarca]

Tough, tough, tough match for the US although the Germans would've been even harder probably...The area where Ghana will expose the US' weaknesses will be in possession, especially in midfield...Fortunately for the US, Ghana has been relatively toothless in front of goal

US has to get up early and on Ghana...A very winnable match for Ghana, as well, IMHO...They possess the 3 things that pose problems for the US - speed, technical ability & strength

No preference but hope Muntari do well so we can sell him for better price ~

lol exactly! i also think this is a tough match to call, but i think ghana will edge past the US

 

[pazzainteramala]

usa all the way, will defintely support them since italy are out.

 

[Michael]

Ghana can't score. USA can't properly defend for the first 10-15 minutes. However, I'm going for the US just because Ghana's inability to score however, but Muntari might get 3 pass Tim Howard.

USA for me, ghana just look a little sluggish to me.

If you are refering to their finishing sure. But the rest of their game looks solid imho. Came through a very difficult group, only conceding two goals, didn't score many either but that doesn't really matter now that we are in the knockout stages were as long as you don't concede you stay within a chance.

As opposed to the other african sides they are compact and composed.

 

[Choppin Onions]

Go Ghana Go! I hate the fucking Yanks.

 

[szasza02]

come on munta, come on ghana!

 

[Michael]

What that thing Donovan was sniffing before kick-off?

 

[FCBarca]

Pretty sweet kits from Ghana

 

[Michael]

"USA can't properly defend in the first 15 minutes."

God damn. 1-0 GHANA

 

[FCBarca]

Lax defending but beautiful finish from Boateng

 

[Michael]

Ghana deserves to go through. And for the US, apparently they don't know who to defend in the start after the break.

 

[Stefan]

Well done to the black stars. It was a fairly even game but extra speed against the slow us central defenders made the difference. US did well to fight back in the second half so well done to them as well.

 

[Choppin Onions]

Thank you Ghana. Really impressed by them. Their GK and defense was excellent today. Midfield was very solid even without one of the best midfielders in the world in Essien. I'm not sure how far they can go but I'll be cheering them on.

 

[Mino]

well done balck stars
