Eh. Perhaps to real football fiends there have been bigger upsets, but tradition counts for a
lot in the world of sports and not necessarily unfairly so. Ghana is no slouch, true, but I think given the atmosphere, the expectations and the spectre of tradition that defeating the Czechs is pretty huge.
Perception counts for a lot and therefore I don't think Dellacamera's comment was off base at all. Certainly not
stupid
