USA vs. Ghana Preview
The USA vs. Ghana match represents the pairing of the Group C winner versus the second seed from Group D. Way back when the World Cup draw was announced, the USA had a clearly advantageous alignment. Our side gets to bypass Brazil, Portugal, Spain, the Netherlands and Italy until the semifinals. That, in a word, is amazing.
The USA vs. Ghana Round of 16 game is a rematch of their meeting from the 2006 World Cup in the Group stage. Ghana defeated the US that year 2-1, sending the USA home in the first round, a disappointing finish particularly after the US side had played eventual champion Italy to an even 1-1 draw.
Ghana advanced to the Round of 16 this year by ranking ahead of Australia in Group D via the World Cup tiebreaker rules. Even though they lost their final match to Germany, and Australia won their final match against Serbia, Ghana survived because of goal differential stemming from Australia's miserable 4-0 loss against the German side.
According to the last FIFA World Rankings before the 2010 World Cup, the USA was the number 14 team and Ghana was the number 32 team. However, that doesn't tell the fully story, particularly the fact Ghana may end up being the sole African side to advance past the Group stages. Needless to say, it's going to be a Ghanaian crowd come this Saturday.
