*** Official Thread: Uruguay v Ghana ***

[perseus]

This should be an interesting tactical game. The Ghana team pace themselves. Even if they are looking out of the game, they can step up their energy levels and pressurise Uruguay.

I think Ghana have the best coach in the World Cup.

Uruguay start as favourites but my gut feeling is that Ghana are going to win. Mind you, this is a test for their squad depth.

Go Uruguay! :vuvu2:

Forlan & Suarez to be LETHAL tonight.

Do you think that Forlan is a Rooney-style player? i.e. Rooney should play the same role, with Lampard playing the Suarez role?

Stewart, our man from Sky Bet, has been in touch to say: "Uruguay have been fairly well supported at 10/11 along with Suarez and Forlan to score the opening goal. Under 2.5 goals is a strong favourite at 4/7 but there are a massive range of bets, both pre match, and in play to choose from." Thanks for the info Stewart. If anyone has any comments for the game, please go to our live chat.

My prediction: I've looked into my crystal ball and I'm going for Suarez to score first in a 3-1 win to Uruguay which pays a handsome 70-1! What are your views / predictions for tonight's game? Send them to steve.pass2@bskyb.com and I will post up the best throughout the evening.

Fancy a bet? Skt Bet go 10/11 odds on for a Uruguay win, 9/4 the draw and 7/2 for a Ghana win. They have a price boost available until kick-off - First Scorer: Gyan 8/1 from 7/1; Correct Score: Ghana 1-0 10/1 from 17/2; Scorecast Boost: Forlan & 2-1 Uruguay 35/1 from 30/1.

My foreccast is a score draw AET.

C'mon Uruguay!!!

Portsmouth must hope that Ghana win the World Cup as they will be able to command a fortune for Kevin-Prince Boateng especially as he has two years left on his contract.

Oh and go the Black Stars. :vuvu2:

 

[defrocked priest]

Weird. Why is Forlan taking the free kicks from the centre half? He should be up front for a free kick of that nature.

Why Do ITV keep saying the whole of Africa is behing Ghana, I dont think the Northern Countries will.

I'm pretty sure the vast majority of Africa will be backing Ghana. Brothers in arms and all that.

 

[perseus]

Ghana playing like an away side soaking up early pressure, and now coming into the game.

Commentators are having another bad day. Talking about bad passing. It is relative. Much better than the England passing.

Assumption tripe because Ghana is the last African nation left.

 

[brakespear]

nasty

 

[sam86]

Just turned on to see that. OUCH.

 

[perseus]

Uruguay 0 Africa 1

:vuvu2:

Deserved and it was coming

GOAL - MUNTARI!!! The Inter Milan midfielder latches onto a loose ball and shoots from 35 yards out and his swerving effort wrong foots Musiera and goes into the bottom left hand corner. Wow!!!
