In 1998 it was Croatia. In 2002 it was Korea. In 2006, I think, it would be Ghana - the underdog with a dream run. Both Croatia and Korea reached the semi-finals respectively in '98 and ‘02; I think Ghana will at least reach the quarterfinals this year. Hoping a lot from Asamoah and Essien.
Ghana takes on USA tonight, wishing for a victory for Ghana.
Note: Ghana is ranked #48 in the Official Fifa Rankings and they have already defeated the current #2 team - Czech Republic. Also they have conceded just 4 goals in their 12 qualifying matches.
