Ghana in 2010

Post by proclaimjesus02 »

I was wondering how we fare compared with the Ghana 2010 squad that almost took the world by storm.

Do we have a better/more balanced team?

Do we have a more difficult path to the Semi final than they had?

Can we learn/emulate a thing or two from their feat?


Here are their Stats;

GROUP D
TEAMS MP W D L GF GA +/- Pts
GERMANY
3 2 0 1 5 1 4 6
GHANA
3 1 1 1 2 2 0 4
AUSTRALIA
3 1 1 1 3 6 -3 4
SERBIA
3 1 0 2 2 3 -1 3


Ghana 1 vs 0 Serbia

Ghana 1 vs 1 Australia

Ghana 0 vs 1 Germany

Ghana 2 vs 1 USA

Ghana 1 vs 1 Uruguay (Uruguay win on penalties)

This. The guy was a one man wrecking crew. I think their forte was their solid midfield of appiah, muntari, kwadman and boateng.

Who knows how far they would have gone if Essien could make the WC.
We have been brainwashed by the Premier League that it's the best in the world. Nonsense. It's the best brand
Roy Keane: ITV 02/25/14

He says that we are currently "brainwashed" into believing that the Premier League is the best competition in the world, and that we are now a long way off dominating the Champions League again.
Gary Neville: Mirror: 12/23/14

I think Spain’s by far the best league.
