Shocking result: Czechs lost 2-0 to World Cup debutants Ghana. Do you even have doubts about reactions?

Karel BRUCKNER (CZE)
Firstly congratulations to the Ghana team. We don’t take injury and tiredness as excuses for our defeat because our opponents played splendid attacking football today. We made defensive errors and our rivals looked constantly dangerous with their […]

Czech Republic and Ghana have finished 2-0. But, not for the Czechs, as expected, but for Ghana. A surprise? It is the least we can say.

Michael ESSIEN (GHA), Budweiser Man of the Match
I’m very happy that we’ve won our first game and that we scored twice. We felt no fear before the match. Their goalkeeper […]

Unfortuantely I haven’t had time to see the games in their entirety, with the exception of Portugal - Iran.
When I got home, I couldn’t believe my eyes: Ghana beat Czech Republic 2-0 and Italy draws with USA: 1-1 in a game that saw the most eliminations in the World Cup so far: 3.
Things got way […]

Ghana and Czech Republic: two teams that have totally different expectations from the game. Ghana wants to at least make a point, while a point would be almost similar to a defeat for the strong Czech team.

How things stand:
In the view of many observers, the Czech Republic performed as impressively as anyone in the […]

“It’s true we had a lot of shots against Italy from far […]

Ghana played curageously, but Italy was better.

Marcello LIPPI (ITA)
It was an entertaining game; we got a good result and played well. I’m particularly happy for the squad, who haven’t had things easy recently. We did our homework, and Ghana played just as we expected. They have a lot of strengths - they’re physically powerful, skilful […]

Ghana is a big unknown to football lovers all over the World. Still, some of them know of Essien from Chelsea.

“This is a different team,” Serb Dujkovic told reporters on the eve of Monday’s Group E tie with Italy. “We came to compete, not just to participate, and to get past the group stage,” he […]

I have to say that I didn’t expect this kind of result. I didn’t think of Ghana as a real contender, but they might be more than that.

Goals from Asamoah Gyan, Sulley Muntari and Michael Essien steered Ghana to a 3-1 FIFA World Cup™ warm-up victory over fellow finalists Korea Republic on Sunday.
Korea Republic, at […]

Ghana played a friendly game yesterday, on Monday, against Jamaica, a match they won hands-down, 4-1.

They got off to a perfect start on Monday when Sulley Ali Muntari pounced on a loose ball on five minutes after Jamaican keeper Donovan Ricketts could only parry a shot from distance.
In the 19th minute, Stephen Appiah’s volley […]
