The World Cup 2006 (6)

Ghana 2 vs Czech Republic 0

Wao!! What a breath-taking game!! For me, the Czechs go into this game as favourites. But Ghana looked like they could cause an upset in the World Cup. Never thought that the Czechs would be the ones chasing the game though. Rosicky looked like a headless chicken running whenever he tried to spark an attack.

They would go into their next game (against Italy) without some of their key players, who are either injured or suspended. I don't even want to know the name of the dude who got sent off when the penalty was given. Petr Cech didn't save that penalty, but if it were not for his heroics, Ghana would have emerged winners by as least 2 more goals.

Losing 2 to nothing to a side which the Italians beat by the same score ain't any confidence booster. Italy only need a draw against Czech Republic to qualify for the final 16, while the Czechs need a win for that assurance. Things ain't looking good for them now. I still hope they go through. Kudos to Ghana for such a brave performance.
