The Luis Suarez Judgement: One Game Only
For some he’s a villain, for others, especially those calling Uruguay home, he is a hero. The ball which he double-palmed off the goal line has given rise to more ethics debate than a freshman seminar with no end in sight.
But there is no debating one thing: his World Cup will continue. Either in the...
Match Review & Highlights: Uruguay* 1-1 Ghana (4-2 pso)
This was one crazy game of football. The regular 90 minutes were marked by one long range strike from each team. An unremarkable 30 minutes of extra time followed, save for the final 60 seconds. Which was insane, and ever so slightly depressing. Unless you’re a Uruguay fan.
For Ghana it was the left foot...
Ghana Out of World Cup 2010 After Asamoah Gyan’s Penalty Miss
This was maybe the single most exciting minute of World Cup 2010. It was definitely the cruelest minute of World Cup 2010.
With Ghana and Uruguay level at 1-1 in the final minute of extra time, Ghana launched a final attack, causing a mad scramble in the box. Uruguay saved, then cleared off the line legally,...
Soundoff: Who’s Your Hero of World Cup 2010 So Far?
As we’ve already noted twice (and won’t be noting again, promise) the big names in the Nike ad all failed to produce at World Cup 2010. But they’re really part of a larger trend, in that no single superstar has yet emerged to dominate this tournament in the way that Ronaldo (the original Ronaldo)...

Ghana Ousts USA from World Cup
The U.S. soccer team’s run at the World Cup came to end on Saturday as they were defeated by Ghana 2-1 in overtime. Things weren’t looking good for the American team in the first half. Then down 1-0, Landon Donovan scored on a penalty kick in the 62nd minute to ... More

Match Review & Highlights: Serbia 0-1 Ghana
Seems like the best tactic for a result at World Cup 2010 is to wait for the other team to screw up. I’m thinking Robert Green vs USA for example. I’m also thinking of both Abdelkader Ghezzal and Faouzi Chaouchi for Algeria earlier today. Ghana and Serbia were fairly evenly matched in today’s Group D...
Gyan fires Ghana into record books
Asamoah Gyan’s 84th minute penalty lifted Ghana to a 1-0 win over Group D rivals Serbia. The win cements Ghana’s spot in history as the Black Stars have now become the first ever African team to win a World Cup match on African soil. Serbia, meanwhile, were left distraught at the final whistle as their...
