Uruguay's the favorite and if Ghana wants to win KPB needs to play all game. I bet Uruguay wins because they have better finishers.

I want Ghana to win, I always favor the underdog.

Plus the ref for the Germany/England game was Uruguayan.

Interesting game, to see how a team like Uruguay can defend against a team like Ghana that at least vs. the USA they looked pretty good, pressuring all over the pitch, very ordered team.

Jordan never fully understood basketball. He had the lowest basketball IQ of any NBA "superstar" in history.

African players have a free pass to make fouls, we made one and it was a yellow card. :evil:

... that too. Uruguay was better so far, but Ghana could be up by two goals.
