Portugal vs Ghana - BBC Red Button 5pm KO
A win might not be enough for either of these teams as a draw in the other Group G game would send both Portugal and Ghana out.
Enjoy the match! |

I can't see Portugal getting both the win and required swing in goal difference they need.
A 2-0 Germany win and a 1-0 Ghana win isn't that unlikely, so Ghana will fancy their chances. |

Thanks for getting this discussion underway in decent advance time.
Thought you might have started the thread last December. |

Doesn't seem that they've been focussed on tactics...
World Cup 2014: Ghana sends $3m cash to players in Brazil Ghana's government has sent over $3m (£1.8m) in cash by plane to Brazil to pay the appearance fees owed to the national team players at the World Cup. Deputy Sports Minister Joseph Yamin told Ghanaian radio station Citi FM: "The players insisted that they will want physical cash. "The government had to mobilise the money and a chartered flight to Brazil. The money is in excess of $3m." Earlier in the week, there were rumours the Black Stars could boycott training ahead of the game if their demand for payment was not met. As unrest grew in the Ghana camp, Ghana President John Dramani Mahama personally assured the players that they would receive their money. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/28021131 |

Cant believe this is only available via the red button. I wanted to record this match, and watch it when I get home from work. Why have both matches, when you cant show both matches? Stupidity from the BBC. They could have shown this match on BB3 or BBC4.

agree BBC could have done better.
Anyone in SE London can go down to the Ghanaian pub, the Castle Tavern in Woolwich. Party time, win or lose. Just hope the USA-Germany result isn't a mutual non aggression pact |

No they couldn't. BBC 3 and 4 aren't on air until 7pm.

If those fees are agreed and have not been paid the players have every right to boycott training.

It just gets worse for Ghana... Muntari and Kevin-Prince Boateng have been kicked out of the squad. Muntari apparently attacked an executive committee member, while KPB has been throwing "vulgar insults" at the Ghana coach in training.
The KPB incident doesn't surprise me, he's never had a great relationship with Appiah. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/28035928 |

Virtually all the Ghana players will play for top European clubs and will already be on huge salaries. Seems quite shameful to me that they are demanding these fees from their government which could be better spent on the poor in Ghana. |

No they can't air earlier. I don't think ITV would've wanted a second choice match which would be thrashed by the match on BBC One.

At least it will be available in HD on the new Freesat BBC Red Button HD channel, starting at 16.55, according to the now/next EPG. May have to do a rescan to get it.
