Djstu23 Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 Venue: Natal USA coach Jurgen Klinsmann looks set to persist with a diamond formation that gives midfielder Michael Bradley an advanced role. Clint Dempsey and Jozy Altidore will start upfront. Ghana coach James Kwesi Appiah must decide whether to pick Jordan Ayew after he scored a hat-trick in last week's warm-up match against South Korea. Majeed Waris tore a thigh muscle in that game and is not expected to play. Yeah very dull OP...... Come on Ghana. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PMLF Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 I expect Ghana to have the support of Brazilian fans, considering how much most Brazilians dislike the USA, even though at the same time most of those want to live there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PMLF Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 It will also be interesting to see the situation in Natal, the authorities there are already set to declare a state of public calamity because of the heavy rains over the last 3 days there.

grimness Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 I'm expecting an entertaining game with lots of running from side to side if weather gets better. Americans love runners in every sport and I doubt there will be too much dwelling on the ball from either side. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReggaeBwoy Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 I reckon it will be Atsu, Boateng and Ayew behind Gyan. Either way think Ghana's attack will be too strong for USA. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, but I meant Brazilian fans, not the foreigners who might be at the stadium, and who will probably be overwhelmingly American. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob1981 Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 Didn't think Ghana looked that strong when I saw their friendly against Holland, but they have smashed South Korea 4-0 since then. Ghana and Germany to go through I reckon. Portugal to fall comically short. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

PMLF Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 What, nothing better to protest? They were protesting about the World Cup in general too, but pretty stupid to burn the American flag but the protesters are mainly linked to extreme left parties, so you can imagine they are pretty dumb.

Most or even all of the complaints are valid, what I meant is that it's not valid to involve or criticize the USA in all of this, they did so due to anti-Americanism. That was indeed pretty dumb.
