Ghana 1 - 1 Australia

well done Ghana
and the ref got it spot on it was a­ red card as id Kwel had not used his hand it would have­ been a goal.
however Ghana should have won that match­ so in a sence it was a let off for Austrailia.

If african players are so dumb then how come the­ leading foot ball countries have africans in their­ nationl sides:

Brazil has the best team in the world­ with 5 world cup titles....almost always at least half­ their team are of african descent.
France won the world­ cup with how many africans in their side compared with­ their historical teams?
How many dutch players are­ better than Ruud Guillit or Frank Rijkaard? Perhaps­ only Cruyff. It was with Guillit and Rijkaard and Van­ Basten that they woin their only title ever.
How many­ english players have won world player of the year for ­ all the millions in the premiership? Rooney? Gerrard?­ Lampard? Terry? George weah has!
By your resoning only­ europeans with enought intelligence are Germany and­ Italy, not the others.

It seems that fifa are desperate for an african team to­ reach the latter stages at any cost, the ref's have­ been shambolic the last couple of day's, shame on­ you fifa.

Chill guys, slow down. Way too many misconceptions and­ peeps jumping the gun. Firstly, no possible outcome of­ this match was going to guarantee Ghana's­ qualifications, win, draw or loss. Ghana could have won­ today and not qualify, similarly they could have lost­ today and still qualify. Like we say, I no dey lie.­
@Deep-2-Deep, I hate it when people make such comments­ regarding african players, but I have to agree with­ you, the tactics were shocking. You have to understand­ two things though. Ghanaians seem to have this natural­ lack of urgency in their play. They play like the match­ will last for 10hrs, and eventually they'll break­ down the opposition and score, so lets play at a­ pedestrian-like pace. Looking back, I can only think of­ Abedi Pele and Tony Yeboah who had that urgency in­ their play, and then the 1995 U-17 world champions,­ they also attacked at a rapid pace. Otherwise ghana has­ always had this annoying slow build up that makes you­ wanna throw your telly of the balcony! Of the current­ crop, only Andre Ayew and George Boateng show this type­ of urgency. And this is where the goal came from.­ Secondly, the coach outlines the tactics. We have a­ Serbian coach, we're in the same group with Serbia.­ Does that not indicate a conflict of interest, I­ question?
And finally, comment 176 @Vuvuzelas Are Pure­ Evil, you're watching the wrong tournament, and the­ wrong world cup - Champions Leagues will be back in­ Aug/Sept 2010.

score more goals ghana,aaah!

this game was bought...again...like the one against­ Serbia..an Italian Ref will take the suitcase full of­ money..

Ghana, Ref and FIFA celebrate...Football looses...

Schwarzer saved the day

i am ghana supporter and i am realy like how they­ playing i wish to them best lucky

Job Well Done Aussies! Way 2 play over half of a­ World Cup match with 10 men and not concede a goal and­ also create your own shots on goal. I think you were­ hard done by another dubious call, i think many of the­ refs in this World Cup are in over their heads. Much­ better display than your 1st game, hold your heads­ high, your Socceroos played like a TEAM! Hand Claps!

u r an absolute idiot hassan, Australia r just showing­ the world we can play, we will be powerful in a decade,­ u just wait and c.............by the way its spelt­ "Rugby" and "Serbia"

According to the rules, when a handball prevents a­ goal, the player gets an automatic red card.

congrat ghana

I reluctantly have to agree with most of the negative­ comments about Ghana's display today. The truth­ really hurts

I'm disappointed in us. The dubious silver lining­ is that we didn't lose. We have now put ourselves­ in a position where we have to beat a Germany which HAS­ to win. Things don't look good

A penalty again?

u missed the word deliberately 8 1/2....so its­ obviously not that clearly stated.....his arm is not in­ an unnatural position, he had his eyes closed, and the­ ball was struck hard and fast without reaction­ time.....

hmm... penalty for ghana - again, lets hope its­ coincidence

The germans are going to murder ghana and ghana can­ look back at this game as the one they should have won­ and qualified, kingsize idiots not knowing how to beat­ 10 men.
