Adriano booked for diving; good refereeing. Thought he was offside too, personally.

greedy diving bastard...

dear Ghana,

please stop playing the offside trap.

thanks

[bababui]

Adriano reminds me of Marcus Allen...he is built more like an American football player

without Essien they don't have much of a chance

They're playing it very high up the field, too. Makes some sense, should be quicker than Ronaldo and Adriano, but not implemented it well so far.

Also from 1966, there was what I'd call the biggest World Cup upset of all time, the 1-0 win of a totally unknown North korea squad over Italy. After the tournament, the players disappeared home and were never heard of again.

yeah...you're biased towards our little win against you guys...

lol so true

[Chisanga]

Nice shot there. Well done keeping it down

[redmarkYankees]

Good effort from Ghana; unlikely to beat the keeper, but should settle them a little.

Dont worry too much about criticism. When you create something and share it there will always be critics. The artist is held in much higher regard than the critic.

[redmarkYankees]

Decent spell for Ghana.

EDIT - no I'll add a sub instead.

almost on cue O'Brien brings up NK/Italy & USA/England, while Balboa tries to toss in USA/Colombia in 1994...
