Well done to Ghana, ask Duke I have totally criticised the African teams but Ghana have been the exception.
Uruguay v Ghana; Interesting game.

Wow, Ghana really did grind out a result in that match. I thought they would lose but they won the game. That team knows they have the whole continent jumping on their band wagon so they'll have to push on. YAY for Ghana!

Scoobyffc,
what is your opinion on Ronaldinho and Pato not being in the Brazil squad? do you think its justified as they dont work hard enough or do you think that both should have been included for their great ability on the ball?
how does the general public in Brazil feel about it?

Ronaldinho likes to party too much. For an elder player, I think Dunga expected much more from him in leadership terms. Ronaldinho could only lead a team into a strip club. He is a great individual player but Dunga seems not to want any individual stars in this Brasilian squad but rather a squad who plays like a unit and together for each other.
Wooohooo, Ghanaaaaa!!!!
I really like them. Good team, very un-African.
Apart from South Africa, Ghana is prolly the individually least talented African country in this world cup, but because they play as a team they're winning. Good stuff. They're organised, disciplined, they have a plan on offense. It's good to watch imo. I wish all the African nations possesed these qualities. They would do so much better.
Uruguay - Korea wasn't a poor match either. The Koreans really did well, good technical team but they lacked a killer upfront. Uruguay was more effective. Suarez' second goal was total fap.

Agree, people should remember Dunga carred Ronny for 3 years after the 2006 World Cup and Ronny kept on being a failure. From that standpoint I can see why he wasn't picked, I wouldn't pick him either. Pato however I would've but he had a injury disrupted season.
I think Dunga put together a very good squad. Maybe they don't play the traditional "joga bonito" that we all fantasize about, but they're not exactly the Swiss or Greeks either. It's still Brazil.
I'm hoping quarterfinal Nethies - Brazil will be the match of the tournament. Of course I'm hoping we'll win, but a high-scoring, intense game would be awesome.
Slovakia first, though. Can't afford to loosen up. One more ugly win and then we have to go all-out.

Yep, for example i have a feeling David ( calamity) james will flop today. He's been doing it his whole career in high pressure games, we shall see. He's actually been good in the two games he's played, but i have my doubts today.
I'm looking forward to the England/Germany game. I hope it lives up to the hype, sometimes these matches can play as dead boring. This is a promotional ad that was done a year before the World Cup. Pretty interesting it actually turned out to be relevant to the current fixtures 
Every one in Brazil was cursing Dunga for calling ronaldinho in the first place, during the first Dunga selection.
He was on a really bad year and doing NOTHING for Brazil's squad.
So Dunga got tired and let him off.
Pato wasnt even being mentioned, well, for at least 90% of Brazilians fans.
We dont think he can play at a high level in a WC, and he didnt have good performances when he had a chance.
Ronaldinho lately was a 50-50 opinion, because he can make a difference in one single play, even if he stays the entire game just walking around. And Brazil's lacks of genius players, something we always had.
Anyway, the other big controversy was Ganso, he plays for Santos and him and Neymar (better then Robinho, but to young) were just AWESOME this year.
Everyone was asking for Ganso, because he is young but plays so damn well, and it would be a nice experience for him to make it to the WC because in 4 years he would be the "10", the leader in Brazil's World Cup.
Our team is getting old and with a defensive style that never was a characteristic.
And theres no apparent renovation going on, we´re relying on Kaka (injured) and Robinho (very good, but not 100%) after that, we just have defensive players.
Anyway, this selection of players is getting a lot of criticism, but they managed to win every single competition they played, so its a very strong group. Without parties, lazy ass superstars and players who are living in the last 3 years just making NIKE ads.

that is shocking. it was so obviously a goal.
Germany were taking England apart but England fought back well.
were there England fans booing the German national anthem before the game?

Wouldn't surprise me if they did. A lot of arrogant hooligans in the English camp.
Anyway, wtf @ both side's defences, lol. So poor.
Lampard's goal...it's an affront to the game that it was disallowed. It's shocking. There's probably a 100 million people that saw it go over the goalline, except one man and he's the one in charge.
It's absolutely ridiculous. If England loses this match, the FA should just take the FIFA to civil court, out of sheer principle.
I hope Blatter gets a heart attack during the second half. Fat fucking zombie bastard.
defense and mid-field are non existant for england.
how do you guys feel about plays being revewied?
