Mike Posted June 26, 2010 Share Posted June 26, 2010 So, Uruguay qualify to play the USA in the last 8 if the US press is to be believed. ESPN has been awful this week. "Ghana? They have four million less people than California! How could they EVER beat us? ahahahahaha! Right Alexei?" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnypd Posted June 26, 2010 Share Posted June 26, 2010 uruguay remind me of england a bit - don't play with any great fluidity but they have a lot of physical presence, bit of pace, fairly direct. like us they just try and keep it tight at the back and hope their good players up front deliver with end product without actually looking like the cohesive team of say chile.

Taylor Swift Posted June 26, 2010 Share Posted June 26, 2010 Well done, Korea. The Asian teams are slowly improving with every WC. It's really good to see. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted June 26, 2010 Share Posted June 26, 2010 South Korea probably should of won that, Uruguay are always going to be in the game with Forlan and Suarez though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gazza ladra Posted June 26, 2010 Share Posted June 26, 2010 So, Uruguay qualify to play the USA in the last 8 if the US press is to be believed. Don't know what you're on about. I know Mike has written something similiar, but I haven't seen it. ESPN is promoting US/Ghana heavily, but the only fool I've seen discounting Ghana is Alexi Lalas. And we've come to expect such homer idiocy from him. That's his schtick. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every time I turn there, it seems as if they're talking arrogant shit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pilko Posted June 26, 2010 Share Posted June 26, 2010 Ghana will edge it imo. Not a hint of Mike-baiting either, genuinely think they'll shade it. Won't be much in it, however. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

David28 Posted June 26, 2010 Share Posted June 26, 2010 Can't see Ghana getting anything today tbh. They have scored 2 goals so far - 2 penalties. They are awfull in front of the goal and aren't that good in defence either. USA on the other hand have a great teamspirit. I see them winning today.

YankeeToon Posted June 26, 2010 Share Posted June 26, 2010 I'm hearing that Ghana haven't forfeited out of sheer terror, and now we have to go through some ridiculous formality of actually playing a game against them?

Taylor Swift Posted June 26, 2010 Share Posted June 26, 2010 Ghana have a team full of quick, athletic players so they'll trouble the Americans. It could really go either way, but I have the Americans winning 2-1. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
