Portugal The draw with the USA represented the first time Portugal had failed to win a World Cup match after taking the lead. They have won only one of their last nine World Cup games (D4, L4). Cristiano Ronaldo has scored 11 goals in his last 10 matches for Portugal, but none in his last three. He had seven shots against USA, but only one was on target. He is the only player in Portugal's squad with more than one World Cup goal. Hugo Almeida, Raul Meireles, Nani and Silvestre Varela have one. Nani's goal against USA was the first scored by Portugal in a World Cup match for 276 minutes. Portugal recorded a pass accuracy of 88.1% against USA, their best rate in a World Cup game since such records began in 1966. Ghana Ghana are one of only four teams to have taken part in more than one World Cup and not been eliminated in the group stage - along with Germany, Netherlands and Republic of Ireland. Asamoah Gyan should make his 11th World Cup appearance, which would equal the African record held by Francois Omam Biyik of Cameroon. Gyan has five World Cup goals and needs one more to overtake Roger Milla as the all-time top African goalscorer at the tournament. He is the only African to have scored in three World Cups.
This is the game I've been waiting for. Please Ghana, do not let me down. I'm expecting (hoping) for another great world cup moment, a goal to shock and a celebration to match. Although I fear Ronaldo putting on a show as Ghana are a tad naive and both teams need to win so this should be end to end. If there is any justice then Ghana will go though but we all know there is rarely justice in football! Just ask Tim Sherwood! please log in to view this image
"#Confirmed: Kevin-Prince Boateng and Sulley Muntari sacked from Ghana World Cup team camp" https://twitter.com/footyGhana/status/482108608252243969
Muntari and Boateng had a fight 2 days ago. Staff broke it up and Muntari hit a staff member,Boateng insulted another.
Gets worse the fight happened 2 days ago. But the assault on a staff member by Muntari was yesterday! Boateng insulted a staff member when asked about the fight. https://twitter.com/garyalsmith
Muntari was suspended anyway, and Boateng probably wouldn't have been picked. I don't think it will affect their chances particularly.
Shock defeat for Germany combined with a comprehensive win for Ghana sends both Ghana and the USA through? Oh that would be delightful
