World Cup Match Thread Day 5

[tobi]

Got no one to blame but themselves. Their defending hasn't been good and frankly if you have a talent like Kevin Prince Boateng you start him.

If they played like a team and didn't go for individual glory, the game would've been over long ago.

Strange how Boateng is a number 9 now. Didn't know what the fuck he was when he was with us, then turned into a number 10 at Milan, and now he's a forward. Random.

Muntari looks like Satan

I hope Ghana can nick a goal, they have the potential to beat Portugal and they would be a lot more entertaining and probably go further than the US...

Plus the Ghanaian fans seems so much cooler, more fun and humble than those of the US

I thought he was a rugby player.

With hindsight we really should have kept him.

I don't care what anyone else thinks, I'm loving Savage on commentary... At least he is getting really into it and not holding back!

 

[Spurger King]

Pure Andros.

I'd take him over Phil Neville though. And Townsend and Carlisle for that matter.

I didn't hear Neville, watched it on Italian TV, but I can just imagine!

5 minutes 'over-time'.

Another wild pot shot from Muntownsend.

Well done, Jurgen and USA.

 

[Syn_13]

Always had a soft spot for Ghana since the 2006 World Cup, but I do like seeing ol' Jurgen happy.

Ghana did it to themselves. Again, too many individuals.

That's the way with a lot of these African teams though. Nigeria were the same. No team cohesion or gameplan.

Anything is better than Lawro.

Yup, said it earlier.

 

[Bus-Conductor]

Fucking hell, just a flukey goal from Iran away from a 25/1 treble.

This wasn't a good tactical or defensive performance from USA, it was just typical lack of composure by the Democratic Republic of Townsendenia.

 

[Marty]

Ghana looked like a team in both 2006 and 2010, but not today. It's a real shame.

That along with some diabolical defending both in giving away the corner and letting the goalscorer go up without pressure gave USA the win.

Dempsey goal was awesome, reminded me of the way Bale used to control the ball and get a shot off in the box.
