VICTORY IS THE MOST IMPORTANT

The Ghana show, they cut tunnels in the Norw. team and amused themselves with heel passes. Norway played long passes and made many mistakes especially getting to the latter part of the game and failed to entertain any one. But Norway won. And in matches, victory is what counts. And nobody knows this more than Drillo (nickname of the National coach). But Drillo must also admit that, Ghana challenged this stance more than any opponent that Norway has met.

It was Abedi who showed us most of this. Africa's Pele danced throughout the match with a technique which was from another world, he gave passes in different forms and variants such that the Norw. players felt like flies, but it wasn't Pele. Except the Ghanaian keeper, the rest of the Ghana team were everywhere and this was over and above the Norw. qualities.
