Brazil V. Ghana

I finally got to watch a Brazil game last night, since all of their previous games started at 2:00 a.m. (probably in deference to the Brazilian fans not wanting to have to watch the game during their breakfast time, which is fair).

Brazil won 3-0, but Ghana was the better team. If it wasn't for the fact that Ghana couldn't fire a decent shot on goal, they would have had at LEAST 3 goals.

Instead, shot after shot from Ghana went flying 3 meters above, left, or right of the goal. But — seriously — Ghana didn't seem to have the slightest problem getting the ball into firing position.

Oh... and the Ghanian keeper made 3 or 4 really beautiful saves, including 2 one-on-one breakaways.

Well, I still have Brazil pegged to win... but Germany is on my list too.
