[Football] World Cup - Day Thirteen

Looking forward to watching Brazil again, loving their football in this WC, they have everything. Including the patience to break down mass defences and the Serbian thugs.

Hoping that Ghana get some sort of revenge for the Suarez handball of 2010 and send him and Uruguay home.

With just the one onfield red card to date, it's all been a very well-mannered competition on the whole.

This might just change things a little. I've been looking forward to this one since the draw was made.

I hope Uruguay absolutely hammer Ghana.






Said no-one, ever.

The entire world cheering on Ghana

Suarez is still a hated figure in Ghana 12 years on.

Ghanaian sports broadcaster Juliet Bawuah said: "I'm yet to meet a Ghanaian football fan who is willing to forgive Suarez for that travesty of football justice."

"Any time Suarez was playing for Liverpool, if anything happened to him like an injury, he gets a yellow card, he gets sent off, he gets punished by the FA, then people were happy. No-one wants to hear his name."

I am absolutely gutted that I'll be missing Uruguay v Ghana - some dullard arranged a parent's evening at my boys' school

Come on the Black Stars!

A colleague with Ghanaian heritage was telling me about this one a few weeks ago. It is the grudge match to end all grudge matches. Can't wait.

Obviously want Ghana through but I also love what Suarez did against Ghana last time.

If Ghana get through, one might reasonably expect a few pointed celebrations aimed in Suarez's direction.

On top of that, we've got another chance of a 3rd Albion World Cup goalscorer in Tariq.

He's clearly enjoying himself with the rest of the Black Stars.

Me too, I thought I was the only one! I really wanted Uruguay to win that game as I was loving everything Uruguayan then thanks to Gus! Forlan was also a joy.

Ghana really need to get over it, Suarez was sent off and they had the chance to score from the pen - there was no injustice like Ireland against Henry/France - Gyan just choked.

Hope Ghana win tonight though.

Has anyone else noticed that ITV Sport have been using the fantastic 'I Will Dare' from The Replacements' classic 'Let It Be' album as incidental music?



Well done to whoever is responsible. Let's have 'Androgynous' next.

 

[Brok]

I wonder if the Ghana fans are as good at booing as we are...

no I hadn't tbh but then I try to watch as little itv coverage (outside of the actual game time) as possible. Will look out for it now though!

Such a shame that VAR would ruin the dream of Suarez scoring with a handball

Shearer just been saying that England Have Nothing To Fear. What a cock! Prob go out to somebody seriously dreary like Croatia

They probably will, yes, but the two statements aren’t mutually exclusive. They have nothing to fear, because everyone expects failure.

He's going to have a job getting this through the turnstiles...
