Go Uruguay. Win me my sweep!
'Mon Ghana. The South American love-in even more tiresome than the whole "Africa United" schtick.
Do not really mind who wins this, feel like I should support Ghana and I have seen them live.
However Clive Tyldesley's dire introduction is making me want to support Uruguay and Forlan and Suarez are great.
Uruguay are like Italy-lite. That ire-inducing combination of cynical fouls and theatrical dives with imploring appeals to the ref.
Yeah but Forlan is great.
He's the Baggio/Zola/Totti token diamond-in-a-slagheap exception.Quote:

Ghana aren't exactly innocent in terms of time wasting and diving either tbh...Quote:

That looked a bit painful.
Holy ****.
Keeper totally wrong footed. Fair ping and did move through the air, but you'd be gutted to concede from there.
Did that have anything to do with the ball/altitude?
