NJTank Posted July 2, 2010 Share Posted July 2, 2010 I'm not sure how 'hardcore' soccer fans are in Ghana, but I can only hope that Asamoah Gyan doesn't become the next Andres Escobar. I feel so bad for that guy right now.Lets also hope Gyan dose not become the next Donnie Moore. www.sportsecyclopedia.com For the best in sports history go to the Sports E-Cyclopedia at http://www.sportsecyclopedia.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FiddySicks Posted July 2, 2010 Share Posted July 2, 2010 How about more of an effort in your kicks, Ghana? This is the WORLD CUP, for god's sake!Damn if only the US could have tied it Saturday, they would have won, since we see Ghana is incompetent in Penalties.Ghana is twice the team the United States was, as was proven by their effort today. Uruguay would've boateraced the U.S. had they actually gotten by Ghana.Yup, no doubt about it IMO. Not so sure it's an effort thing, but more a talent and coaching thing.

Seadragon76 Posted July 2, 2010 Share Posted July 2, 2010 This game was a true epic at the end... GG Ghana. The fact that they pushed and fought only to fall in PK's show how much heart they have. Remember, most of this team are somewhat young, so if they can reach Brazil in 2014, then they might be Africa's brightest hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jigga Posted July 2, 2010 Share Posted July 2, 2010 I for some reason see Argentina beating Brazil in the finals, with Uruguay over Paraguay for 3rd place.I love when you do stuff like this...

Not so sure it's an effort thing, but more a talent and coaching thing.Losing to Uruguay in the QF would have given off the same issues about US Soccer as a Ghana loss had. "We lost to ...(Uruguay or Ghana)!" is equal since it was not Brazil/Argentina/Germany. Forlan would have been the best player on the pitch regardless of who they were going to play today. Ghana was gassed and still in shock from the last minute of ET. Roberto Baggio and David Trezeguet may sleep better as each may not have the biggest penalty miss ever. Lastly, we can now add Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium to the list of "white elephants" like the Bird's Nest in Beijing, as Port Elizabeth's bankrupt soccer club was sold to investors from outside the city and may move the team.

Yes, it would have won the match, but it would have won a quaterfinal match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dfwabel Posted July 3, 2010 Share Posted July 3, 2010 Baggio's miss was in the Final so I still rank that higher.But that was a kick to TIE, not a kick to WIN. If the ability to win is on your shoulders, I think that the winning kick is greater in the World Cup. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saintsfan Posted July 3, 2010 Share Posted July 3, 2010 I can't think of a crueller exit from a major sporting event than Ghana's last night. They are denied a goal by as blatant a handball as possible, in the last seconds, then miss the resulting penalty. Then the guy who missed steps up in the shoot out and scores. But they still lose! It's like every last tragedy England have suffered in the last 30 years squeezed into 10 minutes!!!!! 2011/12 WFL Champions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
