Ronaldo denied a clear pen.

It's not hope as much as its internal racism. Espn, American media, and us fans always try to downplay African teams like they are better than them. Folks have consistently written off Ghana for years and the results never change.

Defense is weaker, but the us looks better due to Mexico having an absolute awful qualifying campaign(Still went to the azteca and parked the bus) and folks are already back on the train. It is a constant undermining of African teams in this nation that is sickening.

considering Ghana knocked out USA past two tournaments, the two narratives this time around seem to be that 1) Ghana is weakest non-USA team in the group (which is true) and 2) revenge. don't really think it's internalized racism—African teams are about the same level as CONCACAF teams at the World Cup. which is to say—really bad compared to UEFA and CONMENBOL
 
Odemwingie is pretty old but those others are good, I fear Musa. Still think we're good on the technical side with Dejagah, Goochanejad, Nekounam and Teymourian. Along with some nice wingers on the bench like Masood and Jahanbakhs.

Think the game will depend on the midfield battle.

True. I am actually cheering for Iran too lol.
 
This thread reminds me why I don't really keep up with the sport outside international tournaments. So many stupid and childish insults being hurled at players and overall just mocking the game with, imo, cuntish behaviour.

That's some persecution complex you've got there.
 
It's hard to tell what constitutes a penality in soccer. Most of the time players go down at a slight change in wind, so I can see how the refs sometimes miss somthing obvious.
