More 10 extra minutes for South Korea to draw the score or for Ghana to maintain it

It was really an exciting match for me. And that is because I sided with Ghana to win. The 11 long extra minutes added was almost like it would never end. Now the Ghanaians have something to play for in their next match with Uruguay and will want to win it. We await the second match in that group H between Portugal and Uruguay. I want Uruguay to cause an upset to CR7 side.

Ghana has really improved in their performance, South Korea played Ghana a tough and defensive game but Ghana was still able to to score 3 goals to lead South Korea.  South Korea 2 goals came as a surprise to Ghana but it was so impressive Ghana tried as much not to allow the game to end in draws.

Senegal team will play an important game tomorrow against ecuador they need the win to qualify otherwise they will be leaving the competition it will be a tough game even netherland couldn't beat ecuador they play really good and have enner valencia who can score from the smallest chance, senegal players need to focus and make every chance to score count.

The Ghana win against South Korea today is indeed surprising to me, Honestly, the game team did well, I wasn't expecting them to win the match though i did hoped they won, i missed watching the match and when i came online to look at the scores, i was really impressed by what i saw.
Though we can not really conclude that the team has improved in their performance by them winning one match because if i recall correctly, Portugal won them by 3:2 in their last match, and they won South Korea today by the same 3:2, lets cross our fingers and see what their next match against Uruguay on the 2nd of december would look like.

Ghana played a great game with a lot of spectacle. At the break they were already leading 0-2. You would say that game was over, but then it became 2-2 in quick succession. At the time I actually thought Ghana was going to lose, but Kudus showed how good he can be. He is arguably the best player in Ghana, which still has a chance to advance to the next round. Of course it won't be easy, but it would be nice if we see some African countries in the last 16 this tournament.

After 25 minutes of play, the scores between Portugal and Uruguay remains equal. So far, the game appears to be in Portugal's favor. If Uruguay is unable to win the match, a draw may be preferable in order to keep their hopes of progressing to the next round alive. Ghana performed a good game today, but their next match against Uruguay will be more tougher because Uruguay will be looking for a spot in the next round with their points thus far. Regardless of the outcome of today's match, Uruguay remains hopeful of advancing to the next round of the competition.

if the match between ghana vs Uruguay happens then I will definitely support ghana, when facing south Korea, ghana showed that they have a good defense, as well as fast counterattacks while Uruguay doesn't have that. Uruguay is currently struggling to face Portugal, even though it is at the top of Group H but if Portugal loses to Uruguay then Ghana will shift its position in the next match.

Senegal and Ghana are the ones to represent Africa now on the Qatar world cup. South Korea also tried their best to equalize but Ghana defense was good to protect the area. Now Senegal is to play with Ecuador and Ghana to play with Portugal. which of them will go far in the world? Senegal and Ghana. I will choose Senegal because their players are more galant than Ghana.
I am to some extent is happy because Nigeria is not in this tournament because Nigeria would have given someone heart attack. I like Senegal and Ghana are going gradually.

Senegal has to win against Ecuador while Ghana has to win against Uruguay in order to qualify while Cameron has a very hard match against Brazil. They all not in a better position than Morroco that's going to face Canada which didn't show anything in this World Cup while Morrocan team played very well and managed to score two goals and take the 3 points from Belgium which is a very strong team.
I would say that Morroco has better chances and many things to prove in this Cup compared to other African teams

When South Korea scored their 2 goals I was thinking Ghana won't have any chances to score another goal because Ghana was really on pressure after South Korea equalize the game.  Kudus  is good indeed, he saved Ghana from not losing the match.

With only 1 round left, we can say that chances for Tunisia and Cameroon are weak to stay in World Cup. They have a mission impossible. Cameroon has to win vs Brazil and wait for Switzerland to be defeated by Serbia.. Tunisia has to win and score many goals vs France which won't happen unfortunately.
Senegal, Morocco and Ghana still have a chance to pass. Morocco > Ghana > Senegal. It would be awful to not see one of them in the next stage..

Senegal need to win against Ecuador in order to progress to the PQF stage. At this point, it looks difficult. And for Cameroon, they need to defeat Brazil which is outright impossible. Tunisia is more or less out of the world cup. Morocco and Ghana are the two CAF teams who have the maximum chances of qualifying to the next round. Morocco already have 4 points from 2 matches, and they just need a draw against Canada. Ghana also needs a draw against Uruguay since they already have 3 points from 2 matches.

This world cup is one of the most impressive one for African teams. I was very disappointed after the first group stage matches because most African teams displayed very poor football and lost their matches because of lack of concentration. But the second group matches brought hope to most African teams because their performance improved to a large extent. At least after the two group matches all African teams has chances to qualify which is an improvement compared to other world cups.

Cameroon and Tunisia needs miracles to qualify but it is not impossible. The Brazilian team might not play with their best players against Cameroon which might give the Cameroonian victory and we have to expect the match between Serbia and Switzerland to favor them. Tunisia's case seem to be also similar but I think Cameroon have a little advantage to qualify than Tunisia.

Morocco is Africa's future and hope because they are the only team with a possibility of moving on to the knockout round. Senegal must defeat Ecuador this morning to advance, while Ghana must defeat Uruguay to advance. Cameroon would have had a chance if they had defeated Serbia yesterday, but they rallied from two goals down to draw the match. They performed well, but they must defeat Brazil in order to proceed.

It looks like African teams are getting motivated in the second round, we barely counted goals for African nations in the first round until Ghana got two goals and now we are even getting 2 to 3 goals in one game which is really surprising. I'm so proud of Ghana today for winning Against South Korea and scoring 3 goals in the game is an outstanding performance for the team.

The few African countries I was able to watch are playing very nice football right from their first leg. Cameron was better than Canada in their first leg but they got unlucky. Second leg they almost lost before their Talisman Abubakar came and changed the narrative.
Morocco are playing well from Day one.
Ghana is a good team and the winning by Portugal was not deserved by them.
Despite the poor start, all African countries in the world cup are good

I was anti-ghana in that game, Ghana are the only African team to have scored two or more games in each of their matches at the world cup this year but still I'm not routing for them to win. Ghana is Nigeria greatest African rivalry and one that has been fought for years. The rivalry isn't just because of football as it ranges from food, music, language etc. I was excited when South Korea equalized as already the Nigeria super eagle were been trolled by the Ghanian all over twitter after they went two goals up.  Sadly that joy didn't last as Ghana got the last goal that won that that game.

Irrespective of me not believing in Ghana, they have surprised me and everyone so far, their next game against Uruguay is a must win for them as there's so many history in that game. The last time both nations met at the world cup, Luis Suarez hand ball caused Ghana the chance to make history as the first African team to reach the semi finals at the world cup. Once again I'll be anti-ghana in that match and hope Uruguay can secure a ticket to the next stage ahead of Ghana.

Senegal is my favorite African team, as they in very short duration have made a strong impact in FIFA WC. There first appearance in FIFA WC was in 2002 where they reached quarter finals. They must win today against Ecuador with good margin to secure there place in next round.
Ghana is in good position as only a draw against Uruguay can take them to next round. Win against Uruguay won be that easy since Uruguay hasn't won any game and they will try to end there WC journey by winning a game.

Aboubakar chip was sublime yesterday, I really enjoyed that game. Cameroon really giving themselves a chance to qualify. It’ll be tough but hopefully Brazil make changes & don’t give 100% in the third game.

Senegal have a better chance to make the last 16, they need to beat Ecuador. They can do it!

Ghana vs Uruguay as I just mentioned in another thread has real history & controversy around it. Let’s just say, there may be lots of cards
Uruguay have not impressed me though, I expected them to be much better. Maybe Ghana are actually the African team that will go furthest?

Cameroon only has 1 point and this match against Brazil is very important for them, if they lose, then Cameroon will definitely go home because it is certain that Switzerland will not give up the match against Serbia.

Senegal have a better chance to make the last 16, they need to beat Ecuador. They can do it!

Senegal vs Ecuador is a life-and-death match for the two teams, Senegal will definitely fight hard to come out as runners-up in group A with Netherlands.

Ghana vs Uruguay as I just mentioned in another thread has real history & controversy around it. Let’s just say, there may be lots of cards

Uruguay will surely come up with all the ways to be able to win this match, if Ghana wins then Uruguay will go home but if Uruguay wins then Ghana will go home. I also think the same as you, there will be a lot of red cards in this match LOL.

There is new prediction that says, Ghana and Morocco might play round 16 of the tournament. But I believe that, Ghana will play the round 16 but I am not sure of the Morocco part. And for me Ghana winning south Korea is not by luck but they deserved it. Ghana in football pass South Korea by far. Though in this world cup I have seen a very weak teams are playing well. The next will tell more on the African teams again, because that round is a tough round.

Hey, I was one of the few actually backing teams other than Senegal (and with money backing my backing too, haha) -- so I do feel vindicated, especially with Ghana whose Ayews and Inaki all contributing so far and, by the way, scoring 5 goals already, more than most teams in the tournament. Morocco playing among the best football in their group, even Cameroon overperforming, it's not a bad showing from the continent at all.

Agree with LFC_Bitcoin too, Senegal we shouldn't be surprised to make it into the next stage with an Ecuador win and I'll be so happy if they go through at the expense of Netherlands honestly, but worthy mentions? Morocco deserves it the most, and Ghana too. Still, football is round...
