Uruguay are two-time World Cup champions, but haven't won the World Cup in over 50 years. Nevertheless, Uruguay has that history and tradition to be a good footballing nation, and certainly very capable of getting deep in the tournament. Uruguay topped their group in the group stages, and did well in eliminating South Korea with a score of 2-1 in the Round of 16. Uruguay has played well with their star striker Luis Suarez among the top goalscorers of the 2010 World Cup with three goals, and still looking to add more when they face Ghana.
Ghana, meanwhile, are the lone African nation who have made it through to the Round of 16 and to the quarterfinals, following a deserved victory over the relentless United States. Ghana certainly have the home crowd support as the entire African continent roots for them to win the 2010 World Cup in African soil. Ghana will look to its stars like Asamoah Gyan, who has scored thrice this World Cup, and also to Kevin-Prince Boateng, who is one of its imminent threats on offense.
Uruguay are slight favorites, but Ghana should not be discounted, considering they are playing in their African home turf.
