The underdogs take to the field!

Uruguay v Ghana

First of all, I have to say how chuffed I was to get the correct score in the Brazil v Holland game today!

Sneijder did me proud, and it takes my correct score total to an amazing five! how good am I? Well not very, but I'm proud that I called that one right!

Uruguay and Ghana take to the field shortly, and for me I'm expecting this game to be very close, Ghana are nearly like a host nation and will have massive support tonight, but they will find it tough against Forlan, Suarez and co.

Ghana really need to get the first goal tonight, if they do they can frustrate Uruguay and play on the counter-attack.

If Uruguay score first they will be hard to break down themselves but they have more ability up front so I'd be more confident of them getting a second.

As a neutral, I want to see Ghana win this. they're the underdogs and to see an african team in the World Cup semi-finals hosted in Africa would be a memorable World Cup moment, much like the Koreans in 2002.

I'm predicting a close game, and I think it will finish 1-1 in 90 minutes, but unfortunately I'm expecting Uruguay to keep a cooler head if it goes to penalties.

Fingers crossed for Ghana.
