^^Maybe because in 3 games they scored 2 goals, both from the spot, AND we outplayed them with 10 men........

Agreed though that Africa has much more depth than Asia. I think the problem with the African teams this WC is the European coaches. They may have them a bit more organised, but they have also coached the African-ness out of the Africans!! Dont like it.

^^^i agree with what ur saying, i'll be the first to admit that not 1 ghanaian i know rates this serb dud of a coach, he has not once started with his strongest 11 or had his strongest 11 on the pitch at one time the whole tournament, it's actually starting to piss me off, come to think of it everytime we are getting pressed for periods of the match and the camera is thrown on him, the look on his face just reminds me of pim's when the socceroos are in trouble, they should team up..i think the african coaches should go with south american coaches, in order to display their full array of talents in a technical sense & not look like robots playing to a defensive and conservative system

Ghana may not have looked the most beautiful footballing team in the world cup so far but as Africa's last hope, the entire country is supporting. At least the black community that is, the white SA's have completely switched off now and only care about Rugby. I was in a bar yesterday trying to watch the Korea v Uruguay game along with all the other foreigners. Every TV and sound bar one small TV above the cash register in a drafty foyer area was playing the freaking Bok v italy Rugby game. All the good (and warm) spots in Cape Town were taken up by local whites while the outdoor (it was freakin cold and windy) TV's played the Cup. After the game people (Black people) hit the streets and WOW!! What a party. it continued way into the night. I for one am hoping for more of that and therefore Ghana have become my second team. CMon Black Stars. Do it for Africa!!

Having said that, I do believe that the best club teams in Asia, would beat the best club teams in Africa. But that is only because the best African players are playing club football in Europe, while a lot of the top Asian players are playing in Asia.

Starting to think that Germany and Ghana organised a go-slow in their game to preserve themselves.
