Supporting Ghana, but I think I am a bit emotional at the moment!

And also the way the commentary is blatantly biased to the USA

Oh, yes, it's so biased. Guess you missed all the commentary in the US v England game.

Get over it.

It's a game.

MrsDrOwenHunt · 26/06/2010 20:58

i dont care who wins!! the best team got put out by usa (snurk)!!!

expatinscotland · 26/06/2010 21:00

the US was also robbed of a perfectly good goal by a ref who was more than likely bribed.

but did they refuse to shake the coach's hand or behave in an unsportsmanlike fashion?

no.

they took it on the chin and moved on.

personally, i'll be pulling for mexico tomorrow, even though i know they're not favoured to win!

PortiaNovmerriment · 26/06/2010 21:02

I am sticking up for Ghana in this match too, but it was definitely a penalty.

EldritchCleavage · 26/06/2010 21:03

I bloody do care who wins (so nervous I am on Mumsnet instead of watching and DH is giving me score updates). Come on Ghana!

MrsDrOwenHunt · 26/06/2010 21:04

the algerian captain has the same name as ds which is a very unsual name here so all my mates rang me ds was palying football!!

MrsDrOwenHunt · 26/06/2010 21:05

but i do want ghana to win coz my goddaughters mummy is ghanian!

HeywoodJablome · 26/06/2010 21:07

Team USA here.

MrsDrOwenHunt · 26/06/2010 21:08

oooohhh i am team andre!!!

expatinscotland · 26/06/2010 21:08

I wish all the best to whichever team plays best on the day and wins fairly and squarely.

SlobbyBOB · 26/06/2010 21:33

2-1 Ghana

expatinscotland · 26/06/2010 21:53

No booking for blatant time-wasting, either.

Yes, so biased.

EldritchCleavage · 26/06/2010 21:54

Keeping everything crossed until end of extra time. Ghana All The Way!

PussinJimmyChoos · 26/06/2010 21:57

Ghana to win also

Was gutted when USA beat Algeria as have Algerian friends and wanted a Muslim team to get through

thecatatemygymsuit · 26/06/2010 21:59

Go Ghana (I have a bet on 2-1 )

expatinscotland · 26/06/2010 22:01

My bet (at Wm Hill) is for Uruguay to go through.

Not sure about who the other team will be, but I've got a hunch about Uruguay.

expatinscotland · 26/06/2010 22:02

Don't think England has a snowball's chance in hell, tbh.

RatherBeOnThePiste · 26/06/2010 22:03

WOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOO

EldritchCleavage · 26/06/2010 22:04

Yaaaaaaaay! Ha ha Ghanaian father is watching with American nephews. Granddad gets bragging rights!

Earlybird · 26/06/2010 22:04

Congratulations to Ghana.

Agree with expat - I'd be shocked if the England team wins tomorrow.

wubblybubbly · 26/06/2010 22:05

It's good that an African team have made it through the 1/4 finals though.

Loved the celebrations too.

expatinscotland · 26/06/2010 22:06

Everyone on the Latin American TV stations my dad watches seems to think it will be Uruguay v Argentina in the final.

But I don't know. Argentina, brill, but, as usual, a bit up themselves.

Uruguay just brill.

expatinscotland · 26/06/2010 22:08

I'm glad they're through, but they'll need a miracle to defeat Uruguay.

Did you see Uruguay's defense this afternoon?! OMG!

Earlybird · 26/06/2010 22:11

i'm glad there were no seriously questionable officiating calls this game.

expatinscotland · 26/06/2010 22:11

me, too, Early.
