We are looking forward to this game and we are sure it is going to be a good one. Part of us think that the United States should get through this, but there is a little bit of us that think Ghana will have an advantage and that the United States have had all the luck they are going to get in this World Cup.
We don't think this game is going to be all about luck but we think it might be a factor in who ultimately wins.
We are hoping for a moment of magic and we think both teams are capable of it. You don't get to the last sixteen of the World Cup without having that ability in the team, but if we were to expect anything, it would be a cheeky one goal win or penalties.
Match Details
- Venue: Rustenburg
- Date: Saturday, 26 June 2010
- Kick-off: 8.30pm
United States
The United States were the surprise winners of Group C but only qualified because of a last minute goal against Algeria and some below par performances from England.
The thing with the United States is they work hard and they are determined and when you mix all that together in football, you can create your own luck.
Ghana
Ghana qualified in second place, ahead of Australia on goal difference, from Group D but they couldn't beat Australia and this speaks volumes to us.
Ghana will need all the luck in the world to get something out of this game tonight and they do not come across as the hardest working side.
Opposition View
USA coach, Bob Bradley
We try hard not to get ahead of ourselves but at the same time everybody has this idea that if everybody gives their best effort, if everybody puts everything they have into it and if things go our way then we can travel far.
Ghana coach, Milovan Rajevac
America has grown into a football super power but it also has sports which are given priority. The football team plays with strength and speed. You never know how to deal with them.
Prediction
Nothing is going to be straightforward at this stage of the World Cup but we just think the United States will have too much. We are predicting the United States to win this game and but bet of the day is Uruguay to beat South Korea.
