Really impressed with Ghana this tournament they are without doubt a real football team, probably the best TEAM to come out of Africa since Cameroon.

 

Milan Rajevac and the Ghana players have to take a lot of credit for comming to a style of player and actually sticking to the coaches instructions and playing as a team.

 

It just goes to show that Football is a team game, Ghana may not have the best players in Africa but they certainly have the best TEAM.

 

Be interested to hear from those who know there African football how many Ghana players would make the Ivory Coast team.

 

Hope they win and if they do there is a lesson to the rest of the african nations out there Teams win football matches not individuals

From a Jonathan Wilson article on African Football.

 

Africa's poor showing at World Cup can be blamed on corruption - Jonathan Wilson - SI.com

 

"One of biggest problems is the fact that most of the players are very narcissistic. Individuality comes first," Halilhodzic said.

 

"Socioeconomic status in Africa plays a big role; that is where that individualism comes from. Everybody wants to assert themselves and create a chance to play in Europe. The personal has precedence over team interest, so there is a lack of team spirit, and this makes it impossible to create winners."

That would be Egypt imo.

 

Ghana haven't really surprised me this WC because they impressed me in 2006 too, gave Brazil and Italy a game but, just as in this WC, they have a hard time sticking the ball in the net so they've not really progressed in that sense.

I really want USA out.

It was bad enough that they hijacked the 1998 tournament. Don't want them anywhere near it. Geographically they qualify from a weak group. Pissed off with the way they have World Series and proclaim themselves as World Champions. Not even Olympic champions at baseball which is quite funny when you consider how many countries play it competitively.

 

Come on Ghana.

 

Yoo Essay !

Yoo Go home !

The World Series is named such because it was originally sponsored by The World Newspaper. The paper doesn't exist anymore, but the name stuck.

 

Seriously sick of the xenophobic and patronising digs at the US just for turning up to the competition. It's entirely fucking pathetic.

Ghana would be so much more liekable if they didn't have a twat witjh dice tats on his neck.

 

Kingson is actually looking good in the purple kit. Even with the orange boots.

 

Did Wigan ever have a purple keeper kit?

 

Yankee Imperialists coming close.

 

Ghana tackling like a team of Carraghers.
