Just got back from the Czech Ghana game.1) Czechslovakia vs Ghana: 0 - 2, Jyan 2', I-can't-remember, second half, sometime half way.
I'm beginning to rethink that it could be very possible that Czech may be good, but only because USA sucked so badly. But you must remember that Ghana and Italy played very on par, and Ghana is on Italy's level, so it may be understandable.
I didn't catch the first half much, but Ghana obviously had the upper hand in controlling the ball within the team. Czech was alright but they just weren't able to create the chances they needed, something Ghana managed to do. In fact, Ghana would have been ahead by a lot more if it hadn't been for their own carelessness and sheer luck and skill by Cech. Considering that, Czech is lucky to have hung on, and it wasn't just luck, it was also determination and skill. At least their drive to score wasn't easily crushed out as other teams. I'll still root for Czech.
Keep in mind that they also had to play with 10 men. I think that was a waste of Ajfalusi. Some referees don't have the patience, and in soccer history, has the referee's decision ever been overturned by a player? or a coach? Nevah. So they should just put a sock in it and deal with it. Why do players never learn? Referees are too damn arrogant and proud and will never admit they are wrong. Fact of Football.
Polak, in my opinion, is a waste of time. He's so irritating! I just have a feeling that he wasted many interception and defending opportunities that others would have taken up. Czech is not a team of chance-wasters, but he's an exception. Take him off! He irritates me to boot. He's just not sharp enough! put him on a team like USA where he belongs.
What else?
Czech has a tough life in front of them, but goal difference will make a damn big difference. If they want to make final 16, they can only afford to lose to Italy by one goal. And Ghana will have to beat USA 4 - 0 if they wanna make it.
It can still swing either way. keep your eyes peeled!
Next is USA and italy. Should be pretty damn interesting. But I believe that Czech can still perform. They need lots of determination and luck. I'm a Czech fan alright!
Ghana however, has a lot of their key players booked for the next match. Czech's only missing Ajfalusi, who's been banned from the next match too. Maybe the odds are stacked against Ghana, but USA sucks, so we'll have to see.
