Ghana trows out 2 players



http://www.businessinsider.com/muntari-boateng-kicked-off-ghana-team-2014-6


I think this is a reason why African teams cant win WC and gow more as 1/8 (or 1/4 in one team case....in France they had inside problems last year ... seems Nederland also before , and so , ok Roy Keane , Johan Cruif.... but Africa is on the way to civilazation and same time still are in old days when problems was dealed whit poison dart or spear .... when they get rid of this (well many lives and plays in Europe, many europeain coaches are there but still Africa in the heart ) Africas has potential, more as any other continent more as Asia, more as C America more as US to win WC, but this isue is why they can not do ot
Ghana was so far best looking African team (Algeria hasnt swimm whit bigger fish) , Nigeria is also ok, Ivory and Cameroon was weeker so ... I think now Ghana will lose to Portugal and wont be there

Wow I did not expected so good penalty, I thought 3 games ban and fine...seems FIFA broke money principles and justice won ....

In no way is that enough in my opinion, this is his third strike. This is a lot worse than a simple bad tackle, biting someone is a savage act, it is pure insanity. I am disappointed in the decision.

agree

USA 0-1 Germany
Rainy game, not so interesting, well Germany knows also how to defend as well, as attack, one of rare games whit Germany I did not enjoyed, it should be evening game, not day time, english 13:00 style games are not accepted by me, Spanish 22:00 evening games is what I like, I am night person. Well US when knew other result also start little bit defending, shame Kloze dod not score

Ghana 1-2 Portugal
seems Portugal was like... maybe Ronaldo will make a game, they have good team, but ... maybe they thought one man will play? who knows

Germany 7 P, US 4 P / Portugal 4 P , Ghana 1 P


S Korea 0-1 Belgium

Algeria 1-1 Russia
I have seen million times games in CL, and other cometition, team what gets early goal hardly wins and score... seems Rus has like EPL, most league play makers are foreigners, and its not good for national team ... Capello is Capello, men on the pich are men on the pitch

1/8
Germany vs Algeria
Seriously, anyway its not possible that Germany lost this one , Algeria success was on maybe not real WC standard teams so far, Ger always are Ger, only bad Ger I have seen was in Portugal EC

USA vs Belgium
Many made Belgium glorification before this tournament i didnt see, S Korea, Algeria, Russia, all can win them, but when flows bigger fish... they are not tested, I think USA are better in all ways ... so USA wins

Brazil 2-1 PP Chile

South american goalkeepers when it comes to catch a penalties are pussies (biggest are Nery Pumpido, Sergio Goycoechea) ... never ever guess learn from Buffon, Casilias and try to catch, learn from German keepers as well,,,1-2 penalties is possible to save whit saving, guessing is stupid, as player I never guessed saved many PP whit catching while other team lost..... Bravo could do better as Julio Cezar did he catch, bravo guessed

Game was boring , early, sun
own goal but how far, seems Brazil wa splaying way to fast and ball didnt catch player and land near players backs. Seems they player to fast and didnt get any think till mistake and Alexis Sanchez ... if Chile pressed they could win .. second half Brazil was shit...Chile should won but that defending tacktiks ... well it was horrible, but it worked till OT and PP ... Chile should use better chances, shout from the distance more, who knows and Penalty was luck ... I dont see Brazil win whole... Spain would beat them, Holland as well, Uruguay and Columbia also has chance....it was such hard game, they strugled, seems home pitch is way to hard .-...

Columbia 2-0 Uruguay
I think Uru did not play even group stages, they were some bad games as well, and Columbia did better Pekermann is good coach, maybe best what Columbia got , and 1th Columbia win in Maracana...they played simply better, classic south american football, (well if only old school stadion , banners, flags, BOPE standing by) good game, but Uruguay was good at defense, mid field but forvard , seems they were searching Luis ''vampire the biter'' Suarez .. Forland was invisible Edinson Kavani did some moves... but generally Col was better and this goal was best and nicest in this WV , if only Muslera would save it maybe best save. In second one well after socond goal there were no chances, Columbia went on defense and did it damn good ...

1/4 final
Brazil vs Columbia
I still think Columbia will win, Brazil won because of damn luck and seems Columbia is on the flow now and Columbia was second place whit 30 points (Argentina was 1th whit 30) .... now Columbia more then ever needs Falcao, but they play well, I think they can win ... Brazil did not impress me, they still have huge pressure, so you never knows but I think 1950 will be repeated in maracana ... maybe Columbia is not best team, but same time can week team be Nr 2 in SA American qualification zone only 2 points behind Argentina? Since hist nation Brazil did not play, who knows maybe Columbia would get 3 points in Bogota against Brazil and take a whole group? well Columbia can win

Brazil are being quite lucky. Mediocre playing yet passing every obstacle. I think Chile's second half deserved a goal, the work in the middle field was fantastic (and crossbar on extratime was soooo thrilling !).

Also, H-O-L-Y-S-H-I-T that first goal by Colombia ! Hope they beat Brasil as they are playing some good football.

Japan 1-4 Columbia
Greece 2-1 Ivory Cost

Another epic winning in added time, whit penalty, well I didnt expected it

Columbia 9 P , Greece 4 P /Ivory Cost 3 P , japan 0 P

Although Greece was stronger than Ivory Coast and in that regard deserved to win, it wasn't a penalty at all as can be seen here:



Samaras trips over his own feet and isn't touched by the Ivory Coast player.

Look at his left foot. Hits the thigh of the Ivory Coast player. Definite penalty.

Chile baked the cake, Brazil ate it. That's the cheesy conclusion came out of Chile v/s Brazil knockout.

No way Brazil was deserving to win that knockout match had Chile didn't convert penalties. Anyway, Chile played their hearts out for that match but in all it's way Chile deserves it.

Mexico 1-2 Nederlands
People judged and discussed this so called ''cooling break'' in +32 ... what will be in Qatar? FIFA can give it to Ausie as it must be, we know where should be 2014 winter Olympics in Sandburg, same next WC in England and then in Ausie ... but well in Qatar +50¤C --- well

I feel sorry about Mexico 5 previously 5 WC they go home after 1/8 finals, now again even I thought it happen but Dutch game today make me change my mind

They didn not create much well in second attacked, but seems Louis Van Gaal made some mistake in tacktical scenario and so on ... or Mex played damn good, but Wesley Schneider canon super powerful kick, non could stop, then PP.. Robben did what he likes to do run and well he could create chance even whit no PP; so I would not make such move, better he runes and it could be good chance he would miss, anyway Klaas Jan Huntelaar broke the oath whit dutches and penalties they are doomed whit it well , not best game from the Ned, maybe better play italian 100%v defense and score on contra attacks and win?
Game was not boring but I hate day games, why not organise it in 20:00 and 24:00 CET? better, those day and sun games I hate it I hate those sun and shadow shits in the stadion... in winter maybe, but we know close to winter in SA can be in Chile and Argentina other , dont seems to me its winter

Not only the player on the bench gets yellow card, but also the coach gets a red one =P

Costa Rica 2-1 PP Greece
i will start whit penalties... 2-3 CR pens was possible to catch but why damn goalies try to guess and jump like lame .... guessing means you can let in 5, saving 1-2 possible to save like CR 1,3 and maybe last one as well, if you do risky you can miss in iper corner, its not possible to catch ...
Boring game as hell, only OT was OK, Greece did defending but such tactic dont works if you need score and cant , CR goal was blooper and lame, player kicked and he didnt want and ball went in other corner, not possible to catch, Greek 90+1 goal was luck, they have chances but not so good it was luck, and I dont think CR red card was reason... OT both reams was tired and pens well blame goalies look at Buffon, Kahn, German keepers , Casillias, maybe Valdes...anyway both teams can write history and both reach so far and one goes to quarters

1/4
Nederlands vs Costa Rica
Well CR won 2 good teams and draw whit Eng, played good against Greece until red card, same time Nederlands did not played good today won same style as Greece get equalizer ...CR has nothing to loose, Holland has huge presure, so it can be interesting game, I think Holland will win but ... you never know

These referees seem to get worse and worse. They need to overhaul the entire system and have a video referee who makes the (important) calls. Give him veto power or something.

Not only that and only referees that have proved themselves to be worthy by having officiated champions league matches and such and not some nitwit from Zimbabwe or Algeria or the likes. But then again one fo the worst ones this torunament has been Howard Webb. My God that guy is a joke nowadays.

Webb was great on the Brasil Chile game, and for me Fifa should adopt the english referee system
in other hand, technology it's obviously needed, with its regulations, like in nba or tennis they have a limited chances to ask for revision...

About Suarez sanction all Latin American Press, and well as you see the pathetic declarations from Tabarez, Mujica (Uruguay's President) and some of Suarez team mates, they all claim it was unfair. I can't believe how blind they are, Tabarez resigning to his FIFA job is a very infantile attitude.

Suarez totally deserve that

I always thought Tabarez was respectable, but with this I lost respect for him, saying such things as fifa is against the poor countries, making Uruguay a victim... and the press, well they are so blind, like trying to show solidarity, so hypocrite!

France 2-0 Nigeria
I did not watch game, I like football, but i wont wasit 1th real summer day because of the game, I was outside and fucking around ...

Germany 2-1 OT Algeria
What a shit game, it was like you have BMW car , but seat is from 30's ford, engine is Nissan, gear stock is from tracktor, gas pedal is from the wood, fuel tank is self made aluminium and car can drive only 10min and you need it re start as old PC when its hangs up .... I never ever have seen so shity Ger even in 2000 and 2004 EC, such errors and lame pases , like Bayern Munchen would be replaced whit Holstein Kiel in the CL ...nothing did not worked, forwards did no work at all midfielders and forwards has not chemistry, defenders made errors, also goalkeeper made error but Alg did not used it .... if Algeria would score in early second, Ger would loss, in such games early goal could help Ger a lott but it was so lame, I dont know what was this shit, Holland scenario .... I think Ger thoughte hh Algeria, shit we will do blizkrieg and drive over as Erwin Rommel command panzer divisions , but Alg did great resistance...and change player mind sin half time is not possible .... I remeber after one shit game Otmar Hizfeld drive whit Bayern Munchen not to hotel but made them do night training

1/4 final
Germany vs France
2 big names yes, will game be interesting I dont know, game also can be boring as fuck, what will win, I dont know .... if I recall Fra vs Ger last time was in 1998 Fra won, maybe Ger will win this time, but i dont know .. I have a feeling name means more as this game can offer to us

@football fans
in what year FIFA change 3 points not 2 points for win as we have now 3 win, 1 draw, 0 , loss, before was 2-1-0

Was it in 70's you can have only 2 player changes not 3 as today? well IMO today we need if game goes to over time we should let 4 th change

when FIFA cancel golden goal rule, I remember it was like WC, EC if its OT what scores wins (in 2 OT) and after it was silver goal , someone scores , they play till end of OT half time , if its equalizer it continues , if no winners wins.. why now we have OT till PP or till its end?

The Germany - Algeria match was awesoem, and had the loads of pace going up and down the field. One of the very few occassions a 0-0 draw was actually a great and quite spectacular match.

Marcel - I didnt said it was boring, it was whit many errors from Ger, Alg did not made such errors, but did not use those gifts , I think litte bit better quallity team could ue it and win, like Sweden
Ger leading 4-0 in Berlin, Swe get 4-4 hahha but still er did not made such lame errors, I thinkSwew, Den, Nor would win such game as yesterday ... it was good game,

Argentina 1-0 OT Suisse
what a boring game, well maybe nots uper, but i hate those games in the sun, ... Hitzfeld is good coach he knew how you should play to win, but it was close, so close.... I still think Arg can do better, they should go in training camp and re train whit out Messi ...

We did it! A game that shouldn't be a game at all. 38 shots at the goal from our team. Howard played the game of his life and our boys couldn't finish it of in regular time.

Congrats to team US for playing an open match.

I think Argentina will be to strong for us in quarters, but from now on anything is possible.
@Marcel: maybe see you guys in the semi-finals

First we have to beat Costa Rica and you guys Argentina. But Argentina should be doable since their team is very average with only Messia good to great player and they have one of the worst if the worst goalkeeper of the WC. So if you can replicate 30 shots on goal you should at least get 6 in, even you guys
Your biggest problem is finishing off goal chances. And another weakness I saw yesterday, the same weakness The Netherlands have suffered from for a long time, is that instead of passing it to a player who is in better scoring position your players tend to go for their own glory.


I am really hoping for a battle of the Low Countries in the semi finals

Well I agree about Lionella but Arg has better today goalies as Nery Pumpdio and Sergio Goycochea what maybe are worts keepers in whole S America history
but todays are better , but I think Arg would play much better if Lionella wont be there, if all training camp would bewhit out her and team would prefere

allsaid Columbia--- Falcao is only man, well he dont plays and Columbia might beat Brazil's ass

First of all: indeed some of them went for their own glory (Mertens, Mirallas) but others didn't go enough for the shot (Vertongen, Lukaku) but every game is different, so maybe next game we finish every chance. Problem is we haven't a real top scoring forward like you with Robben, Germany with Muller, Argentina with Messi, Brazil with Neymar, France with Benzema...
We scored 6 goals, all by different players.

And it would be great to have 2 Low Countries with the last 4 standing in the World!
It's already cool to have them among the best 8 in this WC.
See where the rest of Europe is:
No Spain, Portugal, Croatia, Italy...for the South.
No Sweden, Denmark, Norway...for the North
No Poland, Russia...for the East
Only the centre is represented with Germany, France and our 2 small countries

Without Messi Argentina doesn't stand a chance at all. They NEED Messi just like they needed Maradonna in 1986 and that team was a lot stronger than today's Argentina.
You really are totally blind in your hatred for Messi.

I dont hate Messi, I think he is overated and Christina, Ronaldo (that 1988) and so on
Arg can play better, but they have in thei mind Messi will save and score, they have skilled players

Maradonna days was diferent now you canr run like he did around 6players and get goal , non can do such tricks its hard, players are fisicaly fitter and now all has changed... Messi would be same as Maradonna, but he was born to late
