Certainly I don't like seeing Brazil lose but it's great to see African teams win a trophy (good luck next summer!) and over the course of the tournament, Ghana were terrific to watch. While Brazil were often quite boring. Congratulations to Ghana! Churlish and unnecessary comment from Rogerio. Well I’m Brazilian and was delighted to see Ghana win.

They either be serious, come partake with the best they have or shouldn't waste their time at all. If they do so with what they term second string side and lose, that be it. Tired of this. They would have lost anyway if they had even presented their senior teams.

The Brazil coach was perfectly fine with the harsh red despite the fact that things like that generally put teams in a defensive shell. It's almost as if he's saying that 11 on 11 Brazil could have won? But that's not how things worked out. And yes, congratulations to Ghana! It's always great to see African teams do well in international competitions. I agree, Daniel.

Brazil realized that it was their game to loose and started attacking, but Ghana stood strong, took possession of the ball and defended their goal (with 10 men, you couldn't have asked for more). Ghana worked hard and I think it was unfair for the Brazil coach to discredit them so much. By the extra time I thought both teams were playing well. Ghana came into the game as the underdog, simply because any game against a Brazilian side is the underdog, and then came out victorious. Congrats Ghana!

That's as a result of the fact that the players here dont play in such high profile teams, see? But in the case of Europe players like Danny Welbeck etc are already in the top teams so why bother? Story already accounted for, Laurie.
