I’m gonna do the Brazil vs Ghana game, and before everyone starts telling me Brazil will win, you should know that i am very bias here, i’m riding Ghana and a 1000-1 futures bet on them to win it all.
So the hard road starts with Brazil who have an extreme advantage in experience over Ghana, that will be the hardest thing to overcome obviously for Ghana
but…
Brazil is beatable, and if Ghana don’t beat them, somebody else will, there are faults in this Brazil team, the most noticeable one is that half the Brazil starting lineup is sporting pot bellies, and the other one i noticed is the one i hope Ghana can exploit…Brazil’s 2 key outside defenders, Carlos and Cafu are 36 and 40 years old, nearly 20 years older than the Ghana forwards that will be running at them all game long.
The right side of Brazil’s defense is the weak link, Japan scored on them from there, Australia should of scored on them also from that position…Ghana on the other hand, likes to attack that side, having scored most of their goals from that side, and forward Gyan #3 for Ghana is a deadly young player who plays that side and could’ve scored 5 on the Czechs
The intangeables come into play here
Brazil is a big draw, and FIFA always do all they can to ensure everything is well in Braziloland, and this game is no exception, FIFA suspended Ghana’s captain Essien, who plays for Chelsea, as a little insurance to help old man Brazil make it through safely…Ghana just had 2 players suspended for the last game, their 2 goalscorers conveniently enough
The effects of having your captain and key player suspended for the biggest match of your life can be quite demoralizing, especially on a young team like Ghana, but FIFA know exactly what they are doing, i’ve said it many times, and i’ll say it again, soccer is the dirtiest game in the world, and FIFA is the most racist, bias, and unfair organization in all of pro sports, completely corrupt, i hate them for what they do to the little guys who work so hard to overcome only to get screwed by FIFA in the end
Essien means as much to Ghana as Ronaldinho means to Brazil, he is a key fixture in the midfield, so it will be like this…
Ghana will not get favourable calls in this game, they will never get a penalty kick awarded in their favour no matter what any Brazilian does, every marginal offside call will go against them and favour Brazil, etc, etc…they will need a superhuman effort for the entire game just to overcome all the garbage coming their way…Brazil makes FIFA soooo much money, i guarantee you they don’t want to lose them just yet
It’s nice to be a 40 year old Brazilian with a stomach the size of a soccer ball coasting through the World Cup on a street paved with gold, without even being able to run across the field
I hope Brazil get smoked, they deserve it
