Do you think Ghana deserved to beat USA?

I'm a USA supporter, so please, no one give me any heat for my answer.\n\nIf the USA makes mistakes, then they make mistakes. You can't say that the USA deserved that win because they did not play to their best efforts, and that is their fault. Ghana had the upper hand that day and they came through and beat the USA. They completely deserve that win because they gave the better effort and succeeded. Sure, the USA could've had the POTENTIAL to beat Ghana, but to judge whether a team deserved a win or not should not be based on potential but on the efforts that were put forth in that particular match.\n\nSo, yes, Ghana deserved to beat the USA. The USA fell through, and Ghana defeated them. It is not Ghana's fault that the USA lost. Well actually it is...But it's the USA's fault that they let Ghana win! Good effort by Ghana :)\n\nUSA, better luck next time!

As crazy as it might seem after hammering the US 3-0, the Czechs are probably on the outside looking in.\n\nTheir top 3 strikers are all out of their last game v Italy, which will make it very difficult for them to win.\n\nIf either the US or Ghana win, they will probably go through.

England just tied Sweden yesterday...I think most are underestimating Ecuador just as they underestimated Ghana...Ghana could still beat the USA, they just got done beating the #2 country in the world AND they shut Czech down completely.

"If the 4-5-1 does not fit, Arena must quit."\n\nHaving only one striker and dropping two midfielders back in defense weighs the American team heavily toward their keeper's end of the pitch--and people wonder why they can't score goals.  Hard to put it in the other net if it's always around yours; Arena should be sent packing and replaced with someone who has more soccer sense.\n\nThat, and ol' Bruce didn't even seem happy when we equalized against Ghana.  Should have been the best moment of the tournament for him, but he just kind of frowned and threw his fist around lazily.  Awkward.

Brazil beat us 3:0.Though Ghana played quite well we were not able to score any goals.Hopefully in 2010 we will go further than the 1/16 stage.

Finsish opportunities and truly, truly limit Brazil's chances. Tough order. As we saw against Ghana, Brazil did not play up to par and Ghana played great, yet  lost 3-0. But, isnt that what we all expected? The problem was Ghana controlled the game, but did not finish any of their opportunities, and they let up on defense briefly and you cant do that against brazil because they showed no matter how many chances they get, they will take advantage. 3 shots on goal can be as dangerous as 15.

You've probably posted this question because you've read what the Ghanaian coach said after yesterday's 4-1 thrashing of Jamaica.\n\nHe claimed that Ghana can beat any team in the world. Well Jamaica, aren't exactly 'great shakes' and whilst Ghana are a reasonably strong African nation, they are no where close to the footballing superpowers, like Brazil, Argentina or Germany.\n\nHe also forgets that Ghana were eliminated rather early in their previous tournament this year (African Cup of Nations).\n\nSo to answer your question, No, Ghana cannot win the World Cup and certainly not with the current squad they possess.

I hope Ghana wins! I think they're playing very well so far and the Czechs are a lot slower than them ... we shall see if this can continue until the end!

The US looked horrible.  It doesn't matter who takes the blame, we gave up all those free kicks, corners, and had only one good scoring opportunity.  I could only expect us to lose to Italy and tie Ghana.  10 pts if I'm right!  :-)

Yes, I see now that brazil was helped.  What makes it worse is that after the goals brazil started to showboat.  This to me is foolish and arrogant on brazil's part.  They should show more respect. Ghana was cheated because ref's put the game out of reach with a clear offside goal.\n\nBrazilians were helped !!!  They are not what you think they are.

cosidering that Ghana has beaten the Czeck and from the way they played today i doubt that the U.S. has a chance

I think the U.S.A has a chance. They need to play their game that they played in 2002. Italy didnt look great against Ghana in their first game. The U.S has players that can play against anyone they are very young and talented. My Advice: Be Confident and Play like a 5th place team in the world!

No. They have not proven themselves at all. They have either lost or tied every single game. Ghana is much better in my opinion.
