The_jagster Posted November 28, 2022 Share Posted November 28, 2022 A second classic of the day? Based on their attacking intent in round 1 I wouldn't count on it but who knows... Thank you Ghanaian FA for producing a clean line-up pic Their World Cups so far? Korea drew 0-0 with Uruguay, Ghana lost to Portugal. Probably both teams' best chance of a win. History at the World Cup? Korea: Once finished fourth as hosts knocking out Italy and Spain but have only got to the knockouts on one other occasion Ghana: a Luis Suarez hand and width of the crossbar away from the semi-finals in 2010 despite only qualifying in 2006 for the first time where they also got to the knockouts. In a weird quirk they've faced the USA at every previous tournament but didn't qualify in 2018. Previous meetings? Sites seem to differ on exactly how many but 4 friendlies this century. Ghana have the better recent record including a 2014 4-0 win in Miami where Jordan Ayew scored a hat-trick, an event worthy of an immediate sacking for the opponent's manager imo. (The video says HD, it is not HD). No idea what else was at this stadium or what it looks like but expect to hear a lot of cheering when Son touches the ball, I only saw the second half of Ghana's first match and missed the Korean one so I have no idea who to look out for beyond the big names.

Rob1981 Posted November 28, 2022 Share Posted November 28, 2022 I can see a South Korea win here. But that puts Ghana out with a game still to go. And surely everyone wants the Ghana rematch against Uruguay to have qualification on the line for both sides. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CFuller Posted November 28, 2022 Share Posted November 28, 2022 Yeah, I reckon South Korea will win as well. Ghana had a couple of good spells against Portugal (Kudus is ace ), but I don't rate their defence. Looking forward to the BBC once again promoting South Korea as 'Son Heung-Min plus 10 others'.

craigcwwe Posted November 28, 2022 Share Posted November 28, 2022 Ghana were much better when they moved Kudus further forward in their first game so if their manager has any sense he'll keep that going. Hopefully Ghana get something from the game so that their game vs Uruguay has something on the line for them after that absolute classic at the 2010 WC.

In mitigation, my World Soccer preview is headlined 'Reliant on Son'. It's difficult to see where else they are getting their attacking drive from, although at least it's not so bad that Wolves' Hwang is in the first XI.

The only non british ref names that came to mind were Daniele orsato(who isn't the guy I thought he was*) and cuneyt cakir (I had to Google Turkish referee to find out his surname and turns out he's no longer a ref anyway) I don't know if not knowing the names of referees is because I watch less football than I used to or because they're better at not being the centre of attention when they make mistakes (although people blaming var rather than refs directly might also be a factor) *I thought Roberto rosetti was orsato. Rosetti is also no longer an active referee Edited November 28, 2022 by Mickybricks14 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
