I have to agree. This is a very good game and Ghana are really going for it.

1-0 to Slovenia: that was a cheeky goal at the last minute, and it matched my statistical prediction. :p

For the Ghana vs. Serbia match, my statistical prediction suggests a two goal draw I'm afraid. The two goal difference on the road to South Africa is unlikely to have distinguished either side.

0-0 at halftime.

It's good to see both Serbia and Ghana are playing attacking football. I can really see Ghana taking this 1-0.
YES. I have returned.

That "cheeky goal" sunk me! I had a 0-0 prediction, and was glad that Algeria was down to ten men, as I thought them to be the more potent team.

I picked Ghana 1-0 over Serbia, and given the way the first half went, I'm still thinking that could be a good prediction. Ghana has been knocking on Serbia's door quite often, it's only a matter of time until they punch one in, especially if the Serbs get impatient or frustrated later in this half.

The Big 12 was always destined to fail. It was a merger of two conferences with entirely different philosophies. It's actually surprising that it survived this long.

Well Im not complaining. Ghana seemed ahead the first bit and then Serbia started catching up. These are always tense. Hopefully Ghana can nick one in and settle some restless souls.
