Ghana were cruelly put out of the World Cup having looked set to become the first African team to reach the semi finals of the tournament in its history. Muntari got the whole of Africa on its feet when his 40 yard strike hit the back of the net however Diego Forlan carried on his brilliant form with an excellent free kick. The game went to extra time and in the last minute of extra time, Ghana swung a free-kick into the area. Ghan's shot was cleared off the line but the rebound was headed goalwards and when it looked like Ghana had done it, Suarez jumped and punched the ball off the line. The striker was duly sent off and Ghana awarded a penalty but the cheat prospered as Ghana missed their chance to win the match as Gyan smacked his penalty over the bar. Gyan then stepped up in the penalty shoot-out and hit the best penalty of the tournament (oh the irony) but his side went onto lost 4-2
Brazil put out by Holland
The Dutch have a real chance of winning their first World Cup after a 2-1 win over Brazil. Robinho opened the scoring but Holland bounced back with a Melo own goal from a free kick. Dutch fans were sent into histerics as an unmarked Shneider headed home to give Holland the lead. Melo was then sent off for a malicious challenge on Robben with Holland holding on to book their semi final place
