    Huge oppurtunity for one of these teams. Think it'll be a good game, 2-1 Uruguay

    Would love Ghana to win this but I'd say it will be a comfortable Uraguayan victory


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,350 ✭✭✭Het-Field


    Uruguay have shown that they are not a one trick pony. Luis Suarez, ALvaro Peirera, Maxi Perriera, and Diego Lugano are fantastic. They dont need to rely on Forlan.

    Ghana are reasonable and could cause them problems. But in a tight game I would call Uruguay.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 28,398 ✭✭✭✭Turtyturd


    Uruguay for me. Have not been impressed with Ghana and would have much preferred USA to be at this stage. Going to go with 2-1 to Uruguay but hope its a higher scoreline.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,711 ✭✭✭keano_afc


    Really hope Uruguay do it. They're good to watch most of the time and always look like scoring.

    Really looking forward to this one, but I don't know if it will match up to the action of this afternoon's game. My head says Uruguay to win. That said, I wouldn't bet against an upset after the way the competition's gone so far.

    I fancy Uruguay to overcome Ghana. Boths sides have done pretty well defensively but I think Forlan and Suarez will give Uruguay the edge. I'll say 3-1 to the South Americans as I'm hoping Forlan gets on the scoresheet!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,380 ✭✭✭✭nacho libre


    I'm rooting for Ghana but i think their temperament will let them down. Unfortunately far too often they make the wrong decision in front of goal, against a better side like Uruguay, unlike in the USA game, they'll be punished for this.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,625 ✭✭✭✭Johner


    Put a bit on Ghana at 10/3 there. Think it will be a close game but those are generous odds imo.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,178 ✭✭✭_Bella_


    Teams:

    Uruguay: 1-Fernando Muslera; 2-Diego Lugano, 6-Mauricio Victorino, 4-Jorge Fucile, 16-Maximiliano Pereira, 15-Diego Perez, 17-Egidio Arevalo, 7-Edinson Cavani, 20-Alvaro Fernandez, 9-Luis Suarez, 10-Diego Forlan.

    Ghana: 22-Richard Kingson; 4-John Pantsil, 5-John Mensah, 15-Isaac Vorsah, 2-Hans Sarpei; 6-Anthony Annan, 23-Kevin-Prince Boateng, 7-Samuel Inkoom, 11-Sulley Muntari; 21-Kwadwo Asamoah, 3-Asamoah Gyan


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,380 ✭✭✭✭nacho libre


    those odds for Ghana do look good alright.

    anyway there should be renewed interest in the premiership for Gyan after this world cup. I hope he does well tonight.

    For the romance of the Cup - Ghana but the strike pairing of Forlan and Suarez should be the difference.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,604 ✭✭✭Kev_ps3


    Would like to see Ghana make the semis. Be great for Africa.

    Sometimes i wonder do need separate forums for Man United/Liverpool/Arsenal rumours threads, they must make up 70% of the traffic here.

    I KNOW!! ha been laughing at it here its like something out of a cartoon :p

    Uruguay's anthem intro is like something from Curb Your Enthusiasm. I love it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 28,398 ✭✭✭✭Turtyturd


    Who was the Ghana player that wouldn't shake hands?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,219 ✭✭✭✭Pro. F


    I'm cheering for Ghana.

    Uruguay clear favourites but Ghana are a no pushovers. Also, Uruguay's over cautiousness might cost them.

    What the hell is that on Victorinos face... is it a beard, a lowdown moustache?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 28,398 ✭✭✭✭Turtyturd


    Think Suarez could be in for another 1 or 2 here.

    Yeah, ridiculous. Everyone should just step aside and allow them come for an easy catch.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,954 ✭✭✭LeeroyJones


    Great save Kingston.... was nearly certain Suaerz was going to bury that

    oh so close there, ghanan should be 1 up


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,625 ✭✭✭✭Johner


    Suarez is such a diver.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,416 ✭✭✭Jimmy Iovine


    Shaping up to be a great game now that Ghana have started to get a few chances.

    Forlán dictating play as usual. Would like a hat-trick if at all possible from him tonight ha


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 28,633 ✭✭✭✭murpho999


    Is anyone watching this? Very few posts compared to Brazil v Holland game, when everyone was supposed to be working.

    Anyhow, better start by Uruguay but Ghana starting to get more into it now.

    I really want this to be a good game.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 10,259 ✭✭✭✭Melion


    Lugano gone off injured gives Ghana a great chance to win this match. Just keep it tight at the back and they'll get their chance.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,618 ✭✭✭baldbear


    Ghana are coming more into this game but i think those great chances they had are going to proove costly. Uraguay look a bit ragged now. Half time might wake them up. Jaysus Fucile is out for the count ooouch...

    There is something about suarez that I don't like, he seems like a snake!

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 31,974 ✭✭✭✭Mars Bar


    Oomph, that was some knock off the ground Fucile took. Surprised he is up so quickly...

    I don't think so with Gyan up front, Not a good forward at all. That was a nasty fall.

    That was scary. Glad he's alright.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 10,259 ✭✭✭✭Melion


    Jesus i thought that was going to be something very serious. He didnt look good when he was laying on the ground.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,219 ✭✭✭✭Pro. F


    What a pity, nice effort.
    Boateng having a great game.

    Edit: oh Muntarri screamer!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,618 ✭✭✭baldbear


    If and a big if, Ghana somhow got to the final with Germany there would be 2 brothers playing against each other. Madness i tell you!...
    Ghana are desperate at putting away chances. yesssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss
