After enjoying the morning with a group of rowdy Dutch fans and the sole Brazilian who left as soon as the whistle blew, we are ready for game #2, between Uruguay and Ghana.
Day 20
Uruguay - Ghana
Both teams will begin the game cautiously, as a place in the semi-finals is at stake. Uruguay have the greater attacking threat with Diego Forlan, Luis Suarez and Roberto Cavani manning the charge, while Ghana will rely on Asamoah Gyan to score the goals for the Ghanaians. Uruguay, if they score early, must not let up on the lead and relax and soak the pressure as they did against South Korea, because Ghana is a stronger side than South Korea. South Africa have embraced Ghana as their own by leading the Go Baghana cheers! Ghana are missing several key played in the midfield and will bring Sulley Muntari into the starting eleven. Muntari has been on the periphery of the squad but should play an integral role in this match. For Uruguay everything revolves around Diego Forlan and so far he has been one of the most outstanding players in the World Cup. Forlan creates and scores goals for Uruguay and he will be entrusted to lead the charge. Uruguay's captain Lugano will be assigned the task of keeping in front of Gyan, who penalized the US in extra time with his vicious strike to win the game. This game will not have the same fire power as the Netherlands - Brazil match, but it should be exciting and I see Ghana edging Uruguay for the victory.
Uruguay - Ghana (1-2)
OVERALL RECORD
31-26
