Day Ten - Ghana v Germany

Pre-Match Thoughts
Germany were one of the few "big" name teams to go out and make a strong impression in their first game, drubbing Portugal 4-0. Ghana managed to lose to the US, doing their part in a thus far miserable African World Cup. They need a result in this game.

You have to expect the usual German showing, and I'll go 3-2. Goal fest!

Keep the Becks coming, Danke.

First Half
Boring! Neither team is doing well here, which may be down the heat. Already the World Cup seems to be slowing down with more dull games after a blistering opening, the French game yesterday as a nice exception. Germany need to shift up a gear here, or they'll get caught out.

Second Half
Yay! Much better second half! Four goals! Both teams taking the lead at one point, working their arses off in the heat to the point of collapse and chances for both teams to win. A draw suits Germany better than Ghana, who will need all the results to go their way to go through now. Portugal beating the USA, who are then beaten by the Germans while Ghana beat the USA should do the trick for the African lads. I think?

Result
2-2
