That time stalling in the final part of the game won’t make Cameroon my favorites in the final at all.

Thanks for your opinion Tiago.
I think that everyone agrees that Ghana had a light way to the semifinals.
And even this game with Cameroon is the easiest possible of this stage, because I find the Ivory Coast and Egypt stronger as Cameroon at the moment.
My opinion is that Ghana will manage to reach the finals, although I am honest and I admit that I am not their fan.
Yes, I also don’t like the host nations at a final tournament. I reached my maximum frustration level as I saw Germany’s path at the WC 2006. They should have played directly in the semifinals.

What do you guys say, will we see some extra-time tonight?
I think that Ghana will win after the extra-time or penalties.

If you have noticed all hosting countries have to be at least up to the quarter finals why this? This is because they as organizers have to acompany the continual football matches at least up to the end and restore credibility as hosters.

However, It may happen that Ghana wins because of many factors such as referees influences and all this and etc. In any case I am of the opinion that Cameroon will definetely win this game except if their defenders do mass up the scheam.

Hie there.

It is really very interesting to be part of this useful discussion. As for me, I think that Ghana was very luck because was in the group A wereby there were two weak teams and even though it was tough for Ghana to cross over all these barries which means that today ghana has to convince the crowd otherwise it will be a joke. Cameroon has more chances to win today’s match.

Thanks for that correction James, I just edited my article.
When I said that Ghana had luck, I meant that they had a few games when they did not convince me and that for example the Ivory Coast, who won in style it’s games, looks more probable to win the tournament from my point of view.
Yes, luck might be a harsh word sometimes, perhaps I exaggerated a little.

Ghana’s coach is Claude LeRoy, not Ratomir Dujkovic. Also I don’t think luck has anything to do with Ghana’s performance. They had to work hard to win all their games
