Brazil vs Ghana in video

buff, what brazilians want its not about “joga bonito”, its about play well and win the game, brazil is not playing well, u can say “oh but brazil won the game”, yes but played badly, which mean brazil could have lose to any of those teams… one thing is “play bad” and not doing “joga bonito” which means playing well and not doing “joga bonito” which is passing the ball, controlling the game and not giving chance to the other team to score a goal and that is not what is happening, brazil is playing bad, giving alot chances of the other team make a goal and wining the games, because yet even playing bad, brazil still have the best players.

so dont think parreira is “smart” him is a dang stupid person, u may say “oh him won ocne a WC and him is the current coach of Brazil”, this is just silly lots of morons can be in a better position then others, ppl say 94 brazil didnt have many talents, how come? branco, rai, leonardo, romario, bebeto, ronaldo, etc…

now its so funny to see parreira “pissed” at his team, i wonder why him is pissed, we saw this same group of players playing the qualifies and the frienldy matches and the 1st 2 matches of this WC2006, him already saw all that and the current team that start the game have done the same thing = boring football, why him would expect something better after so many times, i only can think about low IQ, its ok if u commit one mistake, but 2, 3 , 4, 5 and keep doing the same thing, its called madness.

so i if the team had different players playing a bad footbal, then i would understand why him is pissed, but since him keep putting up the same players, parreira dont have the right to be “mad” about how the team is playing, him is a radical person and i bet we will see brazil wining or losing with the same team and funny thing, him thinks that football is “result” like “playing for result” and “show is to “win”, sure, but expecting good result from the way his team is playing, its expect too much, u have to play well to make the result, or do this or go home and dont expect help from referees now, like the FIFA President said more or less, “if brazil win again WC it will loses its sense.”

Socrates said “Because of economic interests. If Brazil win again the World Cup loses its charm. Brazil have everything in their power to be the team of the tournament - but they won’t win. One person can decide a game - the referee. Bribing is not just about money. There are other ways too. The kidnapping of a relative, other types of debts. The economic interests will always win out”

one thing i know forsure since 70′ the world cup have been switching champions, btw Euro and SA, last time was SA, Brazil and this year sounds like an Euro team, everyone one know what happened in 98, very weird thing, every player say a diff thing and again brazil could have been chanpion but then it swicthed to Euro.

one this is for sure, the way brazil is playin i doubt brazil can make it, but if others players like robinho and juninho come in, no1 can stop, if parreira let brazil play, its a team to beat any of these by 4-0, 5-0…

It is four wins and counting for holders Brazil at the 2006 FIFA World Cup™ after they beat Ghana 3-0 in Dortmund to book their place in the quarter-finals on Tuesday, 27 June 2006.
While Brazil advanced to a quarter-final against Spain or France in Frankfurt on Saturday, the talking point of this Round of 16 tie was the opening goal by Ronaldo with which the Brazil marksman wrote his name in the record books. Ronaldo’s fifth-minute strike was his 15th in the FIFA World Cup, taking him past Germany’s Gerd Muller as the most prolific scorer in the 76-year history of the tournament..

it looks that for the 2nd goal, the ball clips a defender’s foot and onto Adriano’s thigh and loops into the net. My question, if I am correct in this observation, is it possible that the defender’s touch makes it not offside for Adriano? I remeber another goal like this, may be against South Korea by Switzerland, where it was not called offside either. I do not see anything on the rule about rebound from post, keeper or defender, so can someone with more knowledge please explain?

i hear that a lot of folks in Accra is claiming all the goals were offside. Clearly the first one is not. but Brasil had more than their fair share of luck today.

Nice Rap!

Sourav, the first and the third are clealy not offsided. The second is, unfortunately. The pass was made when Adriano was 30 or 40 centimeters after the defender. It does not matter if the defender touches the ball at that point. The pass was made by a Brazilian, so it was offside.

The Korean situation was very different. The ball was not a pass to the goal scorer to begin with. The Korean did the actual pass. It’s very clear when you watch it in slow motion. Since the pass was made from the Korean defender it can’t be offside situation.

This World Cup has been very badly and consequently unfairly officiated. Are the referees even trained for this kind of tournament? Or did FIFA just pick people from politically correct countries to officiate such an important tournament.

This referees have been very unfair to nations that they deem not to be football Kings. How else would you justify a penalty in the last minute to Italy after Australia clearly controlled that game? Totti was not even touched by the Australian defender. How would you explain a clearly off-side goal by Adriano to count? How do you explain Ghana players getting yellow cards for merely breathing the same air as Ronaldinho while the same Ronaldinho gets a slap on the wrist for going for a Ghanaian player’s foot. What professional referee gives out eighteen cards in one game four of them red just to ensure that the team that meets England is diaabled?????

My theory is that, these referees have been told which teams should be present at the quarters, Semis and eventually finals, An African or Asian team according to them does not deserve a slot beyond the second round, the smaller teams like Australia do not deserve a place in the quarters either. The only team that is going to the quarters that is not a ‘football giant’ is Ukraine. I know FIFA wish it was a more glamorous team like Spain, Sweden or Czech going through but apparently one referee didn’t listen to the instructions right.

The World Cup is going to loose meaning. Even our own African Cup of Nations is refereed much better. Is it written in stone that Brazil has to be at the Finals for it to be a successful tournament? A day is coming when Africa and even Asia will rule the world of football. This tournament has been proof of that. The African teams especially Ghana have nothing to be ashamed of. They gave the big teams a run for their money. Asia and the Middle East did not perform badly either. This year the team with the biggest thrashing was a European team Serbia and Montenegro.

If it wasn’t for bad refereeing, I believe this tournament would still be worth watching. But as for now what the hell do we watch????, Seven teams that have always had the spot light when it comes to football and one team (Ukraine) that will definitely be eliminated in the quarters because Italy always goes through to the next round if it is playing the underdogs? The referees would even score a goal themselves just to ensure this happens.

I though FIFA could do better than this and I am very worried of how worse it will be when Africa (South Africa) hosts the world cup in 2010. I’M VERY DISAPPOINTED???

Cynthia, you’re wrong. Those kind of errors happen all the time, and all the time people create these conspiracy theories just because the matches are so damn important that even a simple slip creates a torrent of frustration from supporters.

Referees are just human. If you look into the games you will find a lot of mistakes or dubious decisions that also go against the teams you think are being “defended” by the referees - for example, Adriano suffering a penalty during the Ghana game but instead getting an yellow card for diving, when in reality his foot was trapped. Or the offside that was wrongfully marked when Ronaldo receives the ball in front of Kingson, before the first goal - he was alone in front of the goal, but wasn’t allowed to continue. Why don’t you also point that out? Are you on a march against referee mistakes, or referee mistakes against your teams ONLY?

I watched almost all games from the African Cup. It wasn’t better as you are saying.

Youknow, it’s pretty easy for anyone to say that his/her given team has lost just because of referee bias. This has accompanied football since its creation and it’s part of the usual post-game whining. But that’s just what it is: whining. Brazil didn’t win because of that, and it’s time you realize that.

I’m a Ghanaian and i accept the defeat. the ref was brilliant as compared to other refs. Adriano’s goal was unfortunately but in total it was a good match. My advice to Brazil is that they should step up their game a bit because Ghana could ve easily surprised them if their attack was bit sharper but unfortunately we’re very inexperienced, France is next and u must be very careful

Ze, you have the same part wrong as Cynthia (50%-50%) because they always have referees from one of the teams playing. You said that “Adriano suffered a penalty during the Ghana game but instead getting an yellow card for diving, when in reality his foot was trapped” but well that was the referees fault.

But Cynthia is also wrong saying that Brazil won because of that. Think like this; if the referee gave Ronaldo the penalty it wouldn’t have been a goal. SO BLAME THE REFEREES!!!

Thanks for the YouTube links. It was a brave effort by Ghana, but Brazil deserved their win. Definitley looks like they are going to be adding yet another star to that yellow shirt this year.

I think it’s a shame that in 2006 that FIFA doesn’t use the technology to support the referees (beside the Madonna headsets). As supporters we get al the details, replays from multiple angles including virtual lines to see wheter a call is good or not. Maybe someone can explain to me why FIFA is not leveradging technology for the good of the game. Maybe it’s time to break FIFA’s monopoly and bring some competition (which favours quality)!

bergo, i’ve, for a long time now wondered when fifa starts using comp. technology or whatever, so that refs make better calls, not on every small thing, but on those crucial moments that can decide the outcome of the match.

chakan, i share some of your pessimism, but i doubt thins are as hopless as that. i already wrote here that i wasn’t happy with the “beauty” of brs.’s game against ghana. but that doesn’t mean they’re not ready to win the cup. what i saw in that game was a calculated decision on parreira’s part to paly on counters. it worked. had ghana scored and made it 1-1, which they could’ve done, and game kept on going on that score, i think we might’ve seen a different tactics from brs. but they saw it worked and they stuck to it. whem brs. desired to play fast and attacking football, tehy did; even if it lasted not too long -beginning of a 2nd half with japan. now, am i concerned about the coaching and some other stuff, of course, but then there’s never been a wc when i didn’t. in other words it’s anormal reaction, at least for me, and i’m sure for many others as well. thing is, i see calculation, control and knowlage in parreira. ther ewas some of that in ‘02, ‘94, but wasn’t in ‘98. brs. had good teams on all three occasions. big difference was that ‘94 ‘02 teams were more solid and balanced - defence-midfield- attack, etc - but teh’98 team was pretty messed up. it was the players pushing ahead on their individual talants. like i said i’m always concerned and nervous during any wc, but i was really uncomfortable during ‘98, and in the end the result justified my concerns. i’d like both beautifull game and a result every time but i can also make a compromise. look at it this way south american teams, well brs. and arg. still bring the most exiting football to world soccer. brs. being the n1.

Bergo, I’ve been wondering the same thing, watching these games. What is it with FIFA and these outdated modes of refereeing? Other sports make use of the technology in the interest of a fairer game; it’s about time FIFA started doing the same.

There are a lot of ways to think of the calls refs make, but even if that goal had been disallowed because of the offside, it would still be 2-0 for Brazil (and had Ronaldo not been called offside, it might be 3-0). The problem wasn’t so much the calls as Ghana’s bad luck with finishing. That Portugal/Netherlands game was atrocious though. I’d like know more about what was going on with the referee there. Thanks for these clips! I don’t care what they say about Ronaldo, I love him.

Zé, “Those kind of errors happen all the time, and all the time people create these conspiracy theories just because the matches are so damn important that even a simple slip creates a torrent of frustration from supporters”

in the past yes, all these errors could be acceptable, but now days, fifa allow these erros, take a look at italy game, a mistake at the end of 2nd half and not just that, football was not updated as others sports did in term of technology, that is why fifa dont talk about referees having suport from TV, where they can watch the replay in notime and and make the right call, to cancel a goal or to validate a goal or a penalty all dat in no time and pls dont put up the bs about it would take the importance of the referee, it would only help.

so that said, leaving the total control of anything to referee letting him alone to do self judgemend of the perception of what him see on pitch, is totaly nonsense meant to control how the games ends and meant to result on mistakes, anyone that dont agree with this is just blind or dont want to see the truth.

What if technology fails? Would you rather have a human to blame or technology? Replay images can help but I would not trust ‘chip line’ technology.

hi dear

nice vidio
