Got it, but most of the time it looks like they have never done a counter attack before.

they did better in the 1st. but this half they have looked awful on the counters. they are also starting to fall asleep in the back now
on the attack when they have the ball already in the final 1/3, they are not good. i dont want them to advance cause of that.

i really don't think ghana has the stamina to play two 120 minute matches. 7/2/2010 4:13:57 PM |

we will see their entire team go to the ground several times if this goes to extra time
how is the netherlands beating brazil a huge upset? are they not both top 5 teams in the world?

as nervous as kingson looks, i'd expect him to have the advantage in a PK shoot-out, should it come to that. he's had some great saves so far this tournament.
i can't say i have that much confidence in ghana's PK takers, though

Sometimes I wish they still did sudden death, I mean, the "golden goal"... 7/2/2010 4:27:34 PM |

I think I read something that said more games went to PKs when the "Golden Goal" rule was used. 7/2/2010 4:32:48 PM |
mls09 All American 1515 Posts user info edit post |
that makes sense. people play too conservative when you know that one mistake equals the end.

here's the thing about fair play. you're supposed to knock the ball out of bounds when a player is hurt.
but when players are embellishing, and going down in unsporting behavior, it's almost an inevitability that players will stop moving the ball out of play in order to police themselves. it's really sad to see a player act injured and then deny the opposing team a legitimate attacking opportunity because of their unsportsmanlike behavior.
this is exactly why i can't respect ghana. there's no way you can convince me that they are legitimately hurt. they did this against the US last week, they did it 4 years ago against the US, and they're doing it now.

he took no time setting it up, just ran up, which could have been either "catching the goalie off guard" or "rushing it"
