hskrfan4life Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 This game was over fast. We need Portugal to not score a goal in case it comes down to a tie breaker. Hopefully it drains their confidenceExactly, I checked the score of the game and expected it to be a little closer. Quote Link to comment
Mavric Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 Ghana is already rationing power thanks to low water levels on the Volta River—dams along the river provide 75 percent of the country's electricity. But the nation's public utilities commission has announced that power levels will be brought back up for tonight's match against the U.S., and the Black Stars' other World Cup matches: "All available generating units should be on-stream during the tournament, and maintenance personnel will be posted to man critical substations and installations during the match periods to ensure expeditious restoration of electricity in the unlikely event of an unplanned outage or emergency." The match will kick off at 10 p.m. Accra time, and to make sure anyone with a TV is able to watch, the Volta Aluminum Company—the nation's largest smelter, and a huge energy consumer—has been asked to use less power today and on other match days.

zoogs Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 One of my favorite things about soccer is the rareness and unpredictability of goals. In football, every successful, well orchestrated drive results in a score -- and that fits its methodical, organized pace of play. Soccer, though, a team that outclasses its opponent might finish with 1 goal in the entire game -- or 6. It doesn't take long at all to score (as the US showed against Algeria in 2010), but good scoring opportunities are rare and you don't know when they'll come by again. Every single goal is potentially devastating because the other team can't just say "We'll just take care of business and respond." Quote Link to comment

Notre Dame Joe Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 105th in Southwest line @ airport. Keep the updates coming Huskers. And it's soccer, so two consecutive completed passes counts as breaking news. Quote Link to comment

And it's soccer, so two consecutive completed passes counts as breaking news. Well, Ghana has had possession about 3/4 of the time it seems and it makes me nervous. Quote Link to comment
Moiraine Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 Altidore is out of the game (and maybe the World Cup) 'cause he injured his hamstring. Quote Link to comment
ShawnWatson Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 What's the deal with the stretchers on the field? Lol Quote Link to comment
