Surely can't be any worse than this current game.

Expecting a 2-2 draw.

I'd be fairly surprised if Ghana can score a goal against that defence.

Have faith.

Really looking forward to watching Serbiaic, I think they could cause an upset in the knockout stages.

Redzer7

Quincy Owusu Abyie he used to play for Arsenal .

Peyton Manning

Thought Subotic would be playing at the back for Serbia. Hope to see Tosic at some stage too.

Podge2k7

Im going for a 1-1

_Bella_

I'm hoping Ghana can clinch this

Peyton Manning

Very young Ghana side. 8 players in the squad are under the age of 21, and only 2 are over the age of 29. Will be interesting to see how they do, this team will surely be playing together for years to come and will be able to build on anything they achieve this month.

Nuri Sahin

Serbia have a good starting XI. They are capable of going far IMO.

Reckon 2-0 to Serbia with Pantelic to score hopefully

It's a large core of the team that won the underage champioship.

I'm in work so have no access to anything but boards essentially, would someone be a gent and post up the starting XI's for me?

Gonzovision

I'd say Serbia should win this one comfortably. 2-0

Expect the word "naive" to be used ad nauseum, but for the most part with good reason.

I was going for 1-1 but after seeing the teams ill go with 2-0 to Serbia

Frisbee

Have heard good things about Asamosh of Ghana of late, will be interesting to see read how he does.

mike65

Liverpool fans need to be on Jovanovic watch assuming he signs as expected.

Whats the story there actually, has he officially signed? Or will it be called off now that Rafa's gone?

Sure didn't I do that in the first post?!

mike65

AFAIK the deal is still on with July 1st mentioned for the official day of arrival.

JPA

Souness just said Vidic got raped by Torres!

Podge2k7

Souness on Vidic: He got raped by.....sorry he got taken apart by Torres

BaZmO*

Hahahaha. Well done Souness

I read the other day that Rafa was trying to get him to Inter. I don't think he has officially signed yet, but i could be wrong

Kiwi_knock

Always knew Torres swung that way

postalservice

Kolarov to score the first screamer with the new ball!

Gillington

Lol at Souness "Vidic got raped by Torres,sorry taken apart by Torres"

BaZmO*

I wonder will they apologise after the break. It'll also be interesting to see what the repercussions would be if he said that on the likes of Sky or the BBC. It's not a big deal but I'm sure it'd be made of a big deal by the press.

_Bella_

^^ I dunno the Irish arent too pc on things like that

Please let there be a few goals in this match!

Peyton Manning

Official apology, supposed they probably had to - still wont stop a muppet or two ringing in to Joe Duffy tomorrow I bet.

Yep

I Reckon Zigic should get a few in this Tournament

That_Guy

Ah Souness. I know RTE are laid back but that's pushing it.

Was talking about about the English press. But as Archimedes has said, it won't stop the liveline brigade having a whinge.

In fairness to Souness, it's a footballing expression so it's not something that hasn't been said before. But that said, he shouldn't have said it on live tv.

IvySlayer

Souness made a huge error....he said Liverpool beat United 5-1. It was 4-1

McGrath5

The RTE panel never fail to surprise me!!

A bit less shocking than the infamous Roddy Collins comment about Paul Cook and his wife though... God almighty...

mike65

Damn I hope someone has the old Skyplus box running.

Interestingly both keepers were back up to Chris Kirkland at Wigan last season.

Columbia

Don't fear chaps, for the first time this tournament I've got a bet on there being less than 2.5 goals. Just watch them fly in all over the shop now.

Bodhisopha

THIS IS AN OUTRAAAAAAAAAAGE.

Plenty of goals then?

Kiwi_knock

Actually they were backup to Chris Kirklands backup Mike Pollit, which makes them all the more worse keepers
