If anything it will be the South Americans allocated more spots, all 5 reached knock out stages, with 4 in the quarters. Frankly I'd be more worried about Uraguay going through.

Nah theres only 10 teams in South America so they wont be getting more than 5 spots. Theres 50+ in Africa. With FIFA's one country - one vote policy the South Americans dont have a huge amount of say in these things.

Dodgy keeping but game on now.

One of the best I've seen so far...Great Goal!!!

Why?
2 or 3 draws in the group stage, maybe qualify for the 2nd round and then get knocked out there?

Nah, id rather watch decent teams.

Like a 7th or 8th African team?

Last time I read that as Baby Boom and thought thats the last thing they need.:pac:

Anyone else think the ball moved very stangely from the free kick? Seemed to swerve the "wrong" way compared to the way it was spinning.

Because I'm Irish! And I love the build up when Ireland are in the World Cup.

Anyway Ireland have a decent team. They were unlucky in the qualifier.

In fairness Ireland are no worse than alot of the teams we saw in this WC.



And the ball they're using here is a joke. See the way Forlan's freekick wobbled in the air? The movement was totally unnatural, the ball went one way then the other, like one of those cheap plastic balls you used to kick around when you were four.

Cavani is crap. Get him off.

Pro. F

What a strike from forlan. He's a total legend.

Great game

_Bella_

Suarez has been pretty anonymous in this match

Edit: And just when I saw that he has a great chance

'Cup Champions' ball. Usually Orange or white. Tending to hit you on your inside thigh on a cold day, slightly deflated. OUUUUCCCCHHHHH!!!

Great game. Full of action

You forgot to add the wet sandy pitch.

He's been springing the offside trap fantastically well to be fair to him. His timing unreal

Or the horrible "ppiiiiinnngg" noise they would make when they hit anything.

I am all for the reason behind a ball that will cause keepers problems and lead to more goals/more exciting matches but the outfield players have to be able to control it to some degree for it to be effective.

Anyone find this a better game than Brazil/Holland today?

Mr.Nice Guy

Great goal from Forlan. Love it. At least one more please.

So much better. Loving this game so far

Turtyturd

Why not, Forlan.

Suarez' constant offsides are getting really annoying.

baldbear

Come on Forlan more goals ya little divil!!! This is a better game than the Dutch one. Very open and not dirty. Extra time looming?
I feel Ghana are going to have there hearts broken.

Pro. F

This is good for Ghana, Appiah will get them in control.

Thanx 4 The Fish

I can see Ghana nicking this, they are gone more offensive and Uruguay are puching on, think it could be a catch on the break type goal.

baldbear

Did a Ghana player just kind of lie down on the ground to block a shot??

_Bella_

Both teams are resorting to long distance kicks in the last few mins

Great game

Not me.
But i am biased as ****

Boateng shocking there, he delivers quality and it is game over.

Mr.Nice Guy

I'm liking this game more than the earlier one and it looks like we're in for 30 more minutes.

baldbear

Another 30 mins of this great game left. Great efforts by both sides.

_Bella_

And tis extra time

mike65

Uninhibited.

Johner

Come on Ghana!

Mr.Nice Guy

Forlan is the man for Extra-Time. Scored winners against Liverpool and Fulham in E.T. if I remember correctly. Come on Diego.

joseph brand

Suarez is some grafter. Getting back, putting in good challenges, winning the ball and then going forward looking for it.

He should have scored, when he belted it at Kingson. Could have bent it round instead.

Headshot

wonder will scotty do the worm

_Bella_

Ghana look up for it

Mr.Nice Guy

Ghana look stronger and fitter to me. That's a concern.

Turtyturd

That might have been given if he didnt make such a meal of it.

Mr.Nice Guy

Should have been given.

baldbear

Some very tired legs out there. Uraguay looking dangerous with Suarez coming down the right.

Pro. F

Ghana having much the better of it now

Turtyturd

Yep,Uruguay are just barely hanging in.

baldbear

Fair play to Ghana there going for it.

_Bella_

What a chance for Boateng!

baldbear

Prince could of crowned Ghana the winners!

Cypher_sounds

George Hamilton hasnt a clue saying it will be the first peno shootout of the world cup

Did the Japan Paraguay penalty shootout not count?
