    I am supposed to arrive on June 19th, but am trying to switch my flight to catch the US - Slovenia match on the 18th. That means that I can see a match on the 19th as well. My choices are Australia - Ghana in Rustenburg or Denmark - Cameroon in Pretoria. Which game do you think will be more entertaining, both from the game itself and the crowd atmosphere?
    seeing a different stadium isnt an issue here, as I will be at both stadiums later on.

    thanks

    Personally I would go for Cameroon - Denmark. Especially if you want to see an African side do well...

    Both Ghana and Australia made the R16 last world cup.
    A win to either team here is their only chance to progress so it will be an amazing match.This is the match the Australians believe they can win

    Also there will be a better crowd and more foreigners at this match.I believe it will be the better atmosphere

    i think ghana v australia is the better game, but the atmosphere at loftus compared to royal bafokeng is much much better. and obviously you'll be closer to the action. go see both :)

    Denmark - Cameroon, as I would argue that game is arguably more crucial towards determining which side advances to the last 16.

    :)

    Have another look at group D-3 top 20 ranked teams and Ghana in the mid 30's.
    This match is absolutely crucial to the whole group-only a win for either team will allow them to advance
    Also note that Rustenburg is booked out for the 26th because Australian and Serbian supporters all believe we'll advance to M50
    You've obviously written off both teams that advanced at the last world cup :) meanwhile the only that didn't will waltz thru

    Not the case at all, in fact far from it, I think Group D is far more open and will probably go down to the last set of games. Either side could pull off a win against Serbia and so I think the outcome of the other games in the group will play a more pivotal role in determining who advances.
    In Group E however, I think the Netherlands are clear favourites, while, with all respect to Japan, they are the obvious whipping boys, and so it'll be Denmark and Cameroon fighting it out for second place in the group, making this game absolutely vital for both sides.

    Obviously my opinions could well change if we knew the results of the first set of games. If Ghana beat Serbia then Australia would most likely really need a win, making that game equally as interesting, but unfortunately we don't have the luxury of knowing that.
