Re: Anyone else rooting against ALL European team?

ghana can easily make the round of 8, as could australia. in fact its quite possible they end up playing one another. moreover after yesterday´s matches, south korea is in a very good position to win their group (if togo withdraws, a 1-1 tie with switzerland is all they need i believe).

The fact that Ghana played a single good match against a strong opponent (that was weakened by a couple of injuries of course) does not makr them a candidate for the top 8. If you have a close look at the Czech game you have to realize that as it developed it was just the perfect situation for them. Theŭ scored in the first 5 minutes against an opponent that lost 2 of their strongest offensive players. Besides this losing Koller obviously weakened the whole team (just compare Rosickys performance against US to the Ghana game) - even more so after they were behind after a couple of minutes.
I would love to see an African team in the quarterfinals too but sadly their most promising team got killed in the horror group.
