                    • YESSSS! Holland!
                      Now the entire country is going crazy!

                      And so far my favourite right (not exact) prediction!

                          that was a classic moment... whoever goes through to the final is great from those two teams, but highly unlikely it will not be Netherlands

                          • a good writeup, read from the bottom for those unlucky people who did not watch the match


                            How can Ghana's bottle not be gone? Will Gyan take a penalty? We've been going on about the whole fairytale narrative throughout, but has there ever been such a dastardly villain as Luis Suarez? He had to do it, but it could ultimately knock Africa out of the World Cup.

                            Incredible. Here we go.

                            Full time in extra time: Ghana 1-1 Uruguay.

                            I need to regain my breath. That is one of the most insane World Cup moments I've ever witnessed. There was a scramble in the box and Luis Suarez blocks a goal bound shot with his hand. Gyan stepped up and missed. The last. kick. of. the. game. Suarez went mental when Ghana missed. He is going to be VILLIFIED in the press tomorrow.

                            120 min: PENALTY TO GHANA. MISSED. Oh my God. Suarez hand balls on the line to prevent a goal. Gyan steps forward and hits the bar.

                              • Scores all over the place today. Congrats to Bantams from getting 2 exact scores! Chegel and Zoid also did well with 12 each. A lot of other people got nothing at all though, so those who did jumped up in the ranking. Chegel reclaims first place with SuperBeaverInc in this trail, 5 points behind.
