Africa win!
The USA played Ghana in the second match of the day. Ghana got an early lead just squeaking into the net, but gave away a penalty in the second half that brought the USA level.
After 90 minutes the score was level, and the game fell into extra time. Ghana scored quickly in the first half of extra time, and kept the Americans away. It was incredible how Tim Howard, in total desperation, came up to help his team. But in the end Ghana won for Africa, and America's love-affair with soccer has ended for another World Cup.
I am disappointed by the American's loss, but am hopeful for tomorrow. England play Germany, and we have to represent Group C heading towards the final. USA – on our side now?
It seems the number of goals per game is increasing dramatically as we enter the knockout stages.
Predictions: England, obviously, and Argentina.
Goals per game: Mean - 2.14, Median - 2, Mode - 2, Range - 7
Cards per game: Mean - 4, Median - 4, Mode - 5, Range - 10
