GunmaN1905 Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 (edited) Portugal is all but guaranteed to finish first. Ghana can get first with a win and a Portugal loss, while making up the 3 GD difference. For second, Korea needs a win and favorable GD if Ghana doesn't win against Uruguay. Uruguay needs a win and favorable GD if Korea wins. But it's most likely just be a bout a direct clash between Ghana and Uruguay. Uruguay seems to be way more attacking this match. Vecino and Godin finally dropped, going to be a proper 4-4-2 with attack-oriented wide midfielders. Ghana still holds that grudge from 2010, we've all seen their reporter calling Suarez the devil, so this game could get out of hand. Portugal resting most of their team, but Cristiano obviously wants some easy goals in his usual fashion.

CFuller Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 Portugal will beat South Korea, no problems. Ehh. Ghana vs Uruguay, though. That's gonna be spicy. Ghana have played some great stuff at times, and Kudus has emerged as one of the World Cup's best young players, so I hope they win (not just because of what happened in 2010). But I think Uruguay will be stubborn and tough and will grind their way into the last 16. Yay. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob1981 Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 Paulo Bento leads South Korea against his home country. "How many times has someone managed at the World Cup against their own nation?" I hear you cry. Well fear not. I have looked this up so that you don't have to: I guess people remember Queiroz, Klinsmann, Eriksson etc. But down the years a lot more common that you might think. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Constantine Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 Ghana turned out to be one of my favorite sides to watch on this World Cup. I'd love them to qualify but... I can't shake the feeling Uruguay will ********* their way into knockouts. Somehow. Korea's been fun to watch but they badly lack a clinical striker in the final third. I can't see them getting anything, even against this Portugal B side. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_jagster Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 (edited) I normally like Uruguay but this side is quite boring, a shame as I love the way Valverde carries the ball, so I wouldn't mind them going out.

Lukaku also does it. Reminds me of some sports games where you're controlling only one players and you can press a button to raise your hand up and signal you're open.
