Re: World Cup Qatar 2022 draw
Yes. Names that are known to be very good at set pieces. Who on Ghana's team can deliver or finish a set piece like Suarez or Cavani. Look at the wicked bend and accuracy of the ball when they take set pieces. Can anyone on Ghana's team do that?kalani JR wrote: ↑Mon Apr 04, 2022 4:11 pmYou're looking at names which is what often is why African teams don't win these games.Scipio Africanus wrote: ↑Mon Apr 04, 2022 8:50 amPortugal and Uruguay will deconstruct Ghana with set pieces. It's not all about speed. For example without breaking a sweat, England beat Ukraine 4-0. 3 of those goals came from set pieces. From what I have seen so far, Ghana does not have the weapons to respond, but we will see ...kalani JR wrote: ↑Mon Apr 04, 2022 2:21 amBoth of those teams are reliant on many of the players they had in 2014 and they are old. Uruguay is still running the Suarez and Cavani duo which has zero speed. Maybe Nunez and J. Felix step up but we wait and see.Scipio Africanus wrote: ↑Sun Apr 03, 2022 10:58 pmUruguay and Portugal will rip them a new one. 3-0 and 4-1. They might scrape a 1-1 draw against Korea but I see them narrowly losing that one too.
How did Uruguay equalize against Ghana in the 2010 quarter final? It wasn't by running or by speed. It was an expertly taken free kick by old man Forlan.
Wha choo looking at?!
