*** Official Match Thread: Ghana vs USA ***

I'm saying Ghana to win this one

 

[The Wizard]

Loved the Ghana players coming into the ground singing and dancing, class! 2-1 Ghana... Or you know what they say about buses? Could be another draw.

 

[lizard]

Lets just hope it's better than the dross that Nigeria and Iran served up.
Come on Ghana!

 

[The Modfather]

Would love to see Ghana win this one, but expect another draw.

 

[The Legend that IS Lawro]

After a total cleanout of vPounds and the will to live via the last game, it's bedtime.

vv£24.50 on the draw.

Ghana will definitely be up for it more than Nigeria, but then that's not hard. I think they'll be very attack minded, similar to Ivory Coast.

Meanwhile, Klinsmann is no mug and USA always seem up for a fight (no satire intended).

I'm going for a classic ding dong 3-2 either way. Hope it's in Ghana's favour.

2-0 US win for me - both the US and Ghana would fancy their chances of getting out the group too, with Portugal looking pretty poor today.

I am hoping Altidore will do more than he did for us this season, which means that if he scores more than 2 competitive goals (1 league 1 league cup) he has beaten his season record but would love for him to do well.

USA for me here.

 

[wakeytom]

Just bangged on over 3.5 goals, there has been on average 3 goals per game so far before that crap earlier so expecting this one to make up for it

An American friend of mine says he's really highly rated in America and normally plays well for them... It's a strange one with Jozy.

Yes I have, he left to "better his career" which was not for money and ended up playing in one of the Arabian leagues as they paid him fortune.

He was also one of the better players we have had in recent years though so in all honesty I would like to see him do well also, I really enjoyed watching Ghana last time and hope they do well again

 

[Prince Monolulu]

Get in the goal!

He didnt seem to settle this year I dont think, plus the game was very different to what he expected, the way he holds the ball up is amazing though and in a split second he can turn on the skill

Fair enough.

 

[wakeytom]

It's jozy altidore, you know he's gonna score, we'll gan wild, wild, wild

 

[wakeytom]

Fair enough.

I hope an African team can make it to at least the Semis at some time soon and think Ghana have the best chance, it was heart wrenching last time with that Pen, still remember that now

Ghana 3-2 is 33/1. A pounds worth of added late night interest for me
