[Football] Brasil vs Ghana
 

This game isn't until tues. but considering I have money on it (GO GHANA:salute: ) I was hoping for some "positive" thoughts into the coming match besides "your *ucked" or laughing :D

so what do you guys think? Who will win? what are Ghana's chances?

Re: [Football] Brasil vs Ghana
 

blame the mods for not merging them all into the "general world cup antics" thread.
Or blame the inactivity of everyone for not making threads or not posting in threads.

I tried and made a few but got shot down... other people should have a go.

Re: [Football] Brasil vs Ghana
 

It's only once every 4 years (or 2, if you count the EC), so get over it.

Re: [Football] Brasil vs Ghana
 

I asked what people wanted and the general consensus was have a general world cup thread and allow specific ones on matches and such. However never let it be said I didn't way with the winds of public opinion so feel free to express your views again!

Re: [Football] Brasil vs Ghana
 

hey I don't really mind - I'd prefer having all the seperate threads to be honest...



Anyway, Will Brazil finally show why they were pre-tournament favourites? Will Ghana follow Mexico's example and attack them?
It should be a pretty decent match.

Re: [Football] Brasil vs Ghana
 

You'd hope so really, given the fact I cant see Ghana shutting Brazil out.

Lets just all hope and prey that Ronaldo continues to play :)

Re: [Football] Brasil vs Ghana
 

Brazil is getting stronger, so I dont think Ghana has much of a chance (but then, I put money on the netherlands, so what do I know? :()

Re: [Football] Brasil vs Ghana
 

here's a revolutionary thought, if you reply to some of those none football threads, it will put them at the top of the page!

Re: [Football] Brasil vs Ghana
 

robinhos out its fatty and the mediocre three for ghana

Re: [Football] Brasil vs Ghana
 

I put a fiver on ghana to win the wc at 100/1 at the start of the wc, so guess who I want to win.

Re: [Football] Brasil vs Ghana
 

Im not making a seperate subforum just for the world cup. IT would be pretty crap.

However i really want Ghana to win. They are my favorite team after they hammered the Czechs and although id prefer England to go all the way id love it if we met Ghana in the final.

Re: [Football] Brasil vs Ghana
 

Because they're the only team you have a chance of beating am i rite?

Re: [Football] Brasil vs Ghana
 

I'd prefer an England - Germany final. I'm not even sure I'd care who wins - but it would be a great match full of passion, and I'm not talking about the type of passion we saw last night.

Re: [Football] Brasil vs Ghana
 

Brazil's gonna win cos apparently there is an unstoppable aura about it. I cant explain, you gotta see it by yourselves!

Re: [Football] Brasil vs Ghana
 

Brazil is the clear favorite, but there has been a lot of surprises...
at least ghana will battle! and i am looking forward to that match.

but germany will win the cup, of course :P

\o/

Re: [Football] Brasil vs Ghana
 

at least we qualified :mad:


















(ur rite) :(


I quite fancy a ghanian upset now, with no robinho and assuming adriano/kaka/ronaldinho continue to wonder what the tactics are ghana could just sneak it.

Re: [Football] Brasil vs Ghana
 

not buying the "robinho is suddenly world class because he's got a great name" thing.

Also, Ghana will go down fighting. and by fighting i mean two footing.

Re: [Football] Brasil vs Ghana
 

He was excellent when he came on as a substitute against Croatia and Australia, and played well against Japan. He complements Ronaldo/Adriano well, whichever one he plays with. He's probably been the best Brazilian striker in this tournament, although how much that counts for is open to opinion.

Yeah probably.

Re: [Football] Brasil vs Ghana
 

If Ghana win, they can only get to meet England in the semis.

Re: [Football] Brasil vs Ghana
 

I'm still not really sure about Brazil. They always seem to do just barely enough to win their games.

Re: [Football] Brasil vs Ghana
 

Oh well looks liek we have either Brazil/France/Spain in the semi's. Preferably Spain i spose as France always come good against England, and Brazil id never like to play them. So lets pray.

Brazil game was good, interesting when Ronaldinho went mad at Cafu for not passing. Didnt seem like all was too cozy in the Brazil camp so we'l see how that pans out. Red card for the Ghanian makes it the 25th of the world cup. Amazing

Re: [Football] Brasil vs Ghana
 

La la la 3 nil anothar victory.
Wu what are you talking about?
Italy need a stolen penalty, england fought a lot to make a single fault goal, portugal made literally war on the field for a meagre 1 nil ukraine did no goals even in extra time and argetina played they hearts out for a simple 2x1 against poor mexico!
Brazil comes and imposes a solid 3x0 and thats barely win?
oh come on!

Re: [Football] Brasil vs Ghana
 

i had a bet on brasil winning by 4 clear goals :( i am now upset to say the least :(

Re: [Football] Brasil vs Ghana
 

Whereas I predicted a 3-0 win for Brazil in the prediction league :xmas:

Re: [Football] Brasil vs Ghana
 

jogo bonito :salute:

Re: [Football] Brasil vs Ghana
 

stop being such a nike fanboy, seriously

Re: [Football] Brasil vs Ghana
 

wilkommen zum fussball.

Re: [Football] Brasil vs Ghana
 

oh, please, you can do better than that. Ghana was better than Brazil in the first half. One (admittedly) nice goal by Ronaldo, then an off-side goal by Adriano and that was the game. You have to do better than that to impress me.
I dont think France will be much of a problem, we will see what happens after that. (I thought that the fact that the subway station next to the stadion is called 'Waterloo' would be a good sign for Spain, but apparently I was wrong)

Re: [Football] Brasil vs Ghana
 

I agree, 3-0 flattered Brazil, the correct score was more like 2-1. On a different night that match could have easily gone to extra time and even a dreaded penalty shoot-out.

Re: [Football] Brasil vs Ghana
 

the ref was crap, the 2nd was offside and killed ghana's spirit. ghana was playing much better but seem to let the pressure get to them and screw up at the last second. They either shot too soft or completely wild.

Re: [Football] Brasil vs Ghana
 

brazil always get into the finals
so the problem will be brazil x argentina or brazil x germany

i do preffer brazil x argentina, everyone hates argetina. they are "the evil" in football
:D

Re: [Football] Brasil vs Ghana
 

Except for the fact they're playing more entertaining football at the minute than brazil are :(

Re: [Football] Brasil vs Ghana
 

thats true, but i dont like the way argentina plays (has anyone whi likes it ffs?) in the first half of the game they play for real, then the second one they start to "dig" falls and all that crap they did against Costa Del Marfim and México.

i think arg x ger will be a grate game.
hope that arg wins!

Re: [Football] Brasil vs Ghana
 

I sincerely hope brazil don't win, it would be a monumental travesty the way they're playing, id even take a german victory over them. Oh and this is apparently the german 'three lions' some don't like it but its been a bit of an ohrworm and im humming it.

if anyone can link me to a pic of oliver khan looking grumpy on the bench id be much obliged, ive been looking but can't find it :(

i did google image but couldn't get anything :( is there a better quality one?

Thats the only other one i can find but he doesnt look so grumpy there.

Re: [Football] Brasil vs Ghana
 

brazil will get into the finals for sure!
and i think we r going to win
;)

Re: [Football] Brasil vs Ghana
 

i think the french old guard may give you a sterner test than you think, if they get a bit of fire in the bellies they're more than capable of knocking you out and assuming england get through the qfs they'll bore you to death but win. Assuming brazil do make the final, id want any other team in the other half of the draw to win with the exception of italy. If it was an italy brazil final id hope for 6 red cards and a psychotically determined ref and a winner based on an controversial injury time penalty decision to ensure plenty of bad blood.

Re: [Football] Brasil vs Ghana
 

something like that?

Re: [Football] Brasil vs Ghana
 

I think that is only true for England (and maybe some of the south americans?). Can't really see why they should be universally hated.
If they win tomorrow, this might change, though. :)

Re: [Football] Brasil vs Ghana
 

no more like the one JC initially linked, head in hands and looking completely fedup like a big bear. Like a big snuggly bear.

Re: [Football] Brasil vs Ghana
 

well, just look how they play. they always dig falls and do that psychologic pressure. (took too long to change players, too long to start the ball rolling...) if they win against germany (i hope they do) you will see how ugly are they football. always have been like that...
wich sucks btw.

Re: [Football] Brasil vs Ghana
 

So you're saying they play just like Brazil, Portugal, Italy, Holland, well, almost every other team?
