Andy, this group was definitely thr best. All teams worked hard and it is only situations and unfortunately bad refereeing that decided. You cannot say that USA were better than Ghana and deserved to go through or the Czechs were but this si what happened. I salute all four teams in this...

We won't argue on one goal :) The result is the same.

USA 2 - 0 Czech Italy 0 - 2 Ghana

On the other hand, these old Czech legs can do their work in the group stage and then leave the tournament afterwards. I mean they have the potential but not the energy to take them far.

Somehow I see a lot of disappointments in this group.

I think Italy can go and win the WC if they qualify from their group, but I don't see them coming through.

Had Essien stayed with Lyon, Ghana would have been better in the CAN and probably in the WC. I am happy that USA are underrated, this will help make them go through.

That's why I like Mexico too.

Because I like teams with young players that work as a unit and don't have a superstar that everyone's camera is directed on.

I base my judgement and wishes in football as far as possible from politics.

I think and I hope Italy and the USA will advance from this group.

Never in a World Cup the teams played each other twice.
