Moreover, what the hell was he thinking? That was the most unnecessary handball I've seen in a World Cup. Upset of the tournament so far. On paper, the Serbian starting XI is arguably as good as Germany's.

FT Ghana 1 - Serbia 0 (Gyan 84' pen) Entertaining, though technically dreadful match. Almost in the way of "We got spirit, yes we do -- we got spirit, how bout you?", the crowd seemed to make the match more entertaining than it was. Absolutely no finishing whatsoever, as several dangerous chances (most of them for the Africans) went wanting.... That is, until Lukovic got sent off in 74th on his second yellow after a clumsy hold and tackle. That seemed to wake Serbia, as, in the next eight minutes, FOUR chances went wide for the 10-man Serbs. Then, the first penalty of the tournament, as Kuzmanovic stupidly, unnecessarily, and idiotically fisted a ball in the box. Gyan converted for the three points for the Africans. He should've been sent off too -- if not for the nature of the handball, for his dissent afterward additionally. C'mon, dumbass -- everyone can see you fisted it off completely unnecessarily. I don't like the Serbs chances for advancement. They lacked all sense of finishing and more than a little discipline. Mike |
