They should have atleast tried for the second goal when it was only 1-1. Ghanaman wasting time was just sweet bad belle Did anyone notice they didn't win any aerial duel all half?

I agree. The Cavani one was closer to a 50/50 incidental collision but he Amartey foul was definitely a pk. That was a mind blowing decison to pretty much over rule VAR.
Re: Ghana 0 - Uruguay 2 Portugal 1- Korea thread 2 2nd half
Agreed. The Ayews are spent. I think this Ghana team will be better in the near future. They just need to refine some critical areas in the defense and attack.
Most of the players are new and never played together for long. That is their biggest deficiency.
South Korea deserves it!

Tbh, Uruguay should have had a pk, but that's life. They were extremely negative in the first two matches.

Ghana fall my hands.
I hope FIFA comes down on those thugs from Uruguay mobbing the ref.

What foul did Amartey commit? He didn’t pull him down, and his leg def did not kick him down…

I think Spain’s by far the best league.

Will be very surprised if he continues in the WC.
I think he was influenced by Uruguay's well known history of shithousery...

We watched this very boring video, 500 times, of Sacchi doing defensive drills, using sticks and without the ball, with Maldini, Baresi and Albertini. We used to think before then that if the other players are better, you have to lose. After that we learned anything is possible – you can beat better teams by using tactics." Jurgen Klopp

Kudus does not deserve to be on this team, he is such a baller. The Ghanaian rb as far as I am concerned is absolutely rubbish.

FIFA needs to clean this up.
It is mostly a combination of incompetence and bias, but is irritating.
As we keep discussing, the bias mostly works for the favored teams, in this case it didn't.
No, I won't make a joke about Korea and Japan using their considerable GDP with FIFA in a conspiracy.

Ghana only has themselves to blame. The least they should have got out of this game was a draw with better execution on the pk and better defensive organization. That said as a naija man, today's result was a haters delight special. Both Ghana & Uruguay out in one fell swoop.

Kudus def had a pretty good tournament. That Suleyman also showed some promise when he came on

Amartey got the ball slightly, but he got a lot of the man and the tackle was behind. It is shocking that it wasn't given.

Yes, wrote it. Despite the loss, one cannot discount the effort in the second half.
Imagine if the team had been as effective in the first half. Despite the loss, only absolute
pessimism prevents one from appreciating the difference in the second-half effort.

It managed to knock out Ghana and Uruguay.
You gifted Ghana with revenge again Uruguay...in a masterly crafted Pyrrhic loss.

Re: Ghana 0 - Uruguay 2 Portugal 1- Korea thread 2 2nd half
Kudus and Partey quality.
Other players too confident in their ball control, especially Jordan. Created half of chances for Uruguay by giving ball away. Sulemana is way better than Jordan but barely played.
Defensively Ghana should have played the same defenders as vs Korea: Tariq Lamptey and Gideon Mensah. Baba and that other dude are not it.
Midfield lacks a battering ram like Essien to complement Kudus and Partey.

Ive watched this replay plenty times and ive been asking for the contact that amartey made. The tackle was from the side and he stretched and did not connect with Nunez. Watch the replay below and show me what man he got and how you figure the tackle was from behind?
