Ghana vs Saudi Arabia -12 September

RIGHT!!!!!!! they beat morocco 2-0 couple of days back.

 

Wow, I was amazed at the result. They really played good. What was even better was Ghana's roughness, we definately gained some experience from it, and now we can play against this style of play better. 5-0, wow. I though that maybe Ghana was way too weak, but beating Morocco a couple of days 2-0, and playing with its A side too. Angus has gained lots of respect after this game, now if the Saudi FA even thinks of firing Angus they will burn their ass from the media and fans. Lets hope we continue with this performance and result.

 

You were missing 5 players. But you lost 2-0. We were missing 2 players, but we won 5-0. Face it, Saudi Arabia currently is probably better. The Arab cup isn't that important. Win it, it means we are on the right way, losing it means we aren't bad, but we need to improve. So don't dish out excuses from now. Of course if Saudi Arabia faces Morroco now we wouldn't win 5-0, but Saudi Arabia will enter with an upper hand, but on the field anything could happen.

 

CRAZY RESULT !!!!!!

congrats to S Arabia, but I really have to ask some serious questions here

How long was Ghana in the country for ? THey had played a game in France just 3 days ago. They must have been seriously jet lagged and tired. Also the switch in climate from France to S. Arabia is imense. Just looking at the goals it seemed that GHana did not really try that hard in this match. They would lose the ball and not care to get it back. I wouldn't put too much into the result of this match. S. Arabia couldn't even come close to beating much weaker teams like this in the Asian cup. I think this result is a combination of a number of things.

1. S Arabia comming all out trying to avenge the loss they suffered to Ghana earlier.
2. Fatigue and jet lag
3. Failing to acclimatize. France to S. Arabia is a huge difference in temperature.
4. Ghana underestimating S. Arabia and not really taking the game that serious (they were probably thinking about just getting back to their clubs)

I don't mean to take away from the Saudi victory, but really this result must be taken with a grain of salt.

 

Despite performance by our national team, Ghana should've lost just 3-0 because both of the penalties were totally wrong by the ref.

The first three and best goals of the game.

Yassir totally owned Essien lol

 

When is the match between KSA & MOR ?

Can't wait for that match!

 

Ghana arrived on early Monday, and trained at around 8 PM in the King Fahd Stadium.

1. Its a friendly. We don't give a $hit about friendlies. We have gotten thrashed in many different friendlies, and never did we play for avenging. We never get excited in friendlies, we are rather cool and take it easy.

2. Probably.
3. I don't think so. The game was played at night. Its around 35 C, with very low humidity. It was probably 30 since its on the outskirts of Riyadh, and its cooler outside. I don't think thats so hot, or too hard to get used too. In the end these players are professionals, they probably lived in many different climates, again shouldn't really affect.
4. This is obviously the best reason. Also, Saudi players also are professionals, who play with clubs and have contracts, and who fear injuries. 3 were injured and taken out of the field and subbed. Angos also warned before the game of his fear of the players from injuries, so this also affected the Saudi NT. Didn't you see after the 4th goal how rough Ghana was playing. The Saudi players were slowing the game, passing the ball whenever a Ghana player was in range, if Ghana didn't play rougher at that time, the score could have reached 6 goals.

 

We might play in the Arab Cup, in Egypt, its in mid-November, depends on the draw.

 

The first penalty was an obvious foul. Second was a bit questionable.

 

lol, you are unbelievable...so insecure

 

no, no..of course not better than brazil. But maroc, we are far better

 

Also in case anyone wants to use other excuses why Ghana lost :-

1. Ghana didn't arrive on the day of the game, neither 'couple of minutes' before the game, lol. They arrived on Monday morning, trained at 8 PM. An article of a major Saudi newspaper, in arabic :- http://www.alriyadh.com/2007/09/10/article278663.html

"وسيصل المنتخب الغاني الى الرياض صباح اليوم في الوقت الذي سيعقد مؤتمر صحفي لمدربي المنتخبين في الساعة الثانية من ظهر اليوم بالمجمع الأولمبي فيما تلقت ادارة المنتخب عدة دعوات من منتخبات عربية وأوروبية لملاقاة المنتخب السعودي ودياً، وستحدد لجنة المنتخبات المباريات الودية بعد الاجتماع الذي سيعقد خلال الأيام القادمة.

الجدير بالذكر أن منتخبنا سيخوض تدريبه مساء اليوم على استاد الملك فهد بعد صلاة المغرب في الوقت الذي سيتدرب الفريق الغاني بعد صلاة العشاء.
"

2. Why did the Saudis use a Saudi referee? Well, we always do when we play a friendly in Saudi Arabia, when we lost to Ghana 3-1, it was a Saudi referee.

Not Ghana's A team?

Line up: Kingston, Painstil, Shilla, Dickoh, Hans Adu Sarpei; Laryea Kingston/Ayew, Anthony Annan, M. Essien, Eric Addo/Prince Tagoe, Sulley Muntari/Barusso, Mathew Amoah/Agogo
