Adriano was offside twice for that goal. Once for the tap-in, and I believe he was also in an offside position when the first ball was played, and although he wasn't immediately active (the ball went to another player) by the time it got back to him, the linesman could have flagged up the offside back at the halfway line.

It's pretty sad that the score doesn't reflect the play so far.
It's been highly entertaining.
ACK!

Bad refereeing. On the first minute, when Ronaldo was called offside, he wasn't. With the second goal, Adriano was offside - at least once.
to Ronaldo though.

Oh and its at 6 bookings at the half.
I anticipate that Ghana will continue to attack and attack some more eith the likley result that Brazil will score some more. If Ghana really starts pushing hard on the offense, we could see a few more goals before this one is throughYou don't get to 300 losses without being a pretty exceptional goaltender.-- Ben Kenobi speaking of Roberto LuongoComment

The commentators asked "will this be Zidane's last game"?
The answer is yes. Spain wins 3-1 and dominates the game.We need seperate human-only games for MP/PBEM that dont include the over-simplifications required to have a good AI

You know, it really seems to me that the ref is in awe of Brazil.
Every close call seems to go their way.

Good job by the ref calling diving! Though he has been biased towards Brazil, but that is what a great reputation gets you.
Great game by Ghana, they played attacking, exciting football

Now if Brazil has any class, they will simply play defense and let the game play out.
On the other hand, it's probably hard to change your style like that.

Ghana kicked ass. First game i've seen where the loser outplayed the winner.
But Brazil had enough flashes of brilliance to win.

He called it on the Brazilians as well. Any calls for diving are good, IMO. I hate diving

I noticed that the Brazilians seemed much more acurate with their shooting. I checked and the game report supports that . Ten of 11 of Brazil's shots were on the net. Contrast with Ghana being 7 of 18.
Hitting the net seems to me to be a key talent . Its one the Swiss should practiceYou don't get to 300 losses without being a pretty exceptional goaltender.-- Ben Kenobi speaking of Roberto LuongoComment
