Uruguay: Ghana will not be the only contender in this match thinking about the people who cheer for them. In an interview, Uruguay's star striker Diego Forlan said "we are confident we can reach the semi-finals to give joy to our people." Uruguay has had a great World Cup to date, and soccer predictions have them 12/1 to win the 2010 FIFA World Cup. With 10 previous appearances and two titles, Uruguay always plays hard in World Cup betting. Uruguay has only allowed one goal in four matches, while putting the ball in the net six times. Diego Godin, Uruguay's defender injured his left quadriceps and is uncertain for the match against Ghana. That is a small problem for a team built on a solid foundation. Uruguay was the only team other than Portugal to not allow a single goal going into the round or 16. The defense is strong and the goalie has been on point for his side.

Ghana: Knowing what lies ahead and what stands behind them, the young team will need to mature quickly if they are to absorb all the pressure and produce the result many are waiting for. Team manager Milovan Rajevac has insisted that Ghana will not alter its style of play to combat the threat of Diego Forlan. His strategy, good or bad still to be determined; will be to play the same way that has got them this far with adjustments throughout the match to exploit their opponents weaknesses. To compliment a strategy that has produced just two goals in group play and another two against the United States in the elimination round, the only two scorers for Ghana in the tournament have been bit by the injury bug. Star striker Asamoah Gyan has a swollen ankle, but should be able to play; in pain. And the only other goal scorer at the tournament, midfielder Kevin-Prince Boateng is battling a hamstring problem. Milovan Rajevac will also be without Jonathan Mensah who will be suspended due to two yellow cards in the USA game. Soccer odds have Ghana going down by one goal before halftime.
