Newport lad from Crindau, and Ceredigion resident for 27 years: former firefighter Roger Bennett

30 June 2010

To truly put the efforts of the Ghanaian football team at the 2010 FIFA World Cup Finals into perspective, we need to glance at a table containing the names of the other Quarter Finalists;

Holland v Brazil Kick off on the 2nd July at 3pm UK time
Uruguay v Ghana Kick off on the 2nd July at 7.30pm UK time
Argentina v Germany Kick off on the 3rd July at 3pm UK time
Paraguay v Spain Kick off on the 3rd July at 7.30pm UK time


It is amazing to see Ghana still in contention with the likes of Brazil, Holland, Uruguay, Argentina, Germany, and European Champions Spain. One of these 8 teams are only 3 victories away from being declared World Football Champions. For the remaining 7 nations, there is the glory of reaching the Quarter Finals, Semi Final, or being the runner up at the Final. 32 teams started at the Finals and 24 of those teams along with many more in the qualifiers have been brushed aside. Whatever the results on the 2nd and 3rd June 2010, these 8 teams can be justifiably proud of their achievements and the pride that their countrymen now display as each of the Quarter Finalists fly the national flag of their respective nation.
