Ghana-Senegal: Post Match Analysis

by Soccerhene@SoccerForum

... I was so close to the pitch 'I was literally sitting on it'... I was shaking hands and taking pics with the players Muntari, Appiah, Boakye, Kingston, Chipsah!! Kingston even came to the stands to sit and talk with some fans. The fans were literally all over the players takin pics and talking to them like they were our buddies!!!

To me Isah Ahmed was the man of the match...that guy can defend...Mensah didn't do much probably because he reported to camp today!!!

That Diouf is a daaaaaaaaaaamn good player but he definately has a screw loose...you can tell he's about to explode at any moment...he even managed to get Painstill booked...

Appiah created the penalty with some beautiful skill...drawing the defenders to him and releasing Kingston on the right inside the box who cut inside and was chopped down.... But I can't believe he hit the top bar with the penalty kick just on the stroke of half time....

Lloyd Owusu missed 2 chances one a clear header from a beautiful Pappoe cross...his effort was tame to say the least....the other a complete miskick after a beautiful move...the guy missed the ball completely!!

Essien got the biggest cheer of the night when he came into the stadium sometime during the second half....the crowd chanting "we want Michael Essien"....I have never seen the media at work before so I was shocked the way he was completely encycled with flash photography going off like crazy!!!
