I could not have predicted Holland's stunning defeat of Brazil a few hours ago,however that is football.So going into the next match between Ghana and Uruguay who have won the World Cup twice[1930,1950],its just a wait and see thing.
However with the mercy of God the overwhelming support of Africans for the only team left in the competition and history beckoning ,Ghana could yet prove experts wrong. They could step into the semis for the first time for Africa and also go through as as team that was not expected to deliver after a host of injuries,most notably Michael Essien their talismanic player who plays for Chelsea.However three, in fact four players[Ayew,Gyan,Boateng,Kingston] have stepped up to the plate to fill the inspirational roleof Essien.
For Uruguay having last participated in 1990 they already look devastating with all their goals coming from the Atletico Madrid man Diego Forlan and Suarez.They are solid but they are yet to be tried by any team and Ghana could yet provide that explosion.They are also looking to their cool coach Tabarez,who also led them in 1990 to provide the tactical grey matter to beat Ghana.
Whether they are able to achieve this or not will also depend on their fortitude. How they play after going down .
However this duel will be titanic with no quarter given or asked and as this World Cup has revealed,no one knows what will transpire until after the final whistle!However I do see Ghana making history if the referee's are fair.
