Halfway through the Brazil – Ghana match and the ref’s just given Brazil their obligatory 45th minute goal, despite clear, CLEAR offside twice in the counter-attack. And Ghana outplaying them magnificently.

After the disgraces of Portugal – Holland and Italy – Australia and the two-hour penalty warm-up of Ukraine – Switzerland, the competition has been having a bad spell. Now with this match – a blinding display by the Ghana team – you feel they should split it into two competitions, one for moral victories, the other for fooling the ref.
But this is just filler before Argentina and England are back in action on Friday and Saturday – more on that soon. (And it should be noted here that both Ecuador and Mexico claimed bad decisions were responisble for their defeats too.)

Go Ghana.
