8. Ghana vs. Germany, June 23, 2:30 p.m. -- Among the most evocative aspects of any World Cup is the contrast in styles -- although it can sometimes be overstated in the modern game, where soccer cultures frequently intermingle. But this one does offer some contrast. Michael Ballack's absence could see the German's drift back to the old ways: grinding out results through efficiency and sheer will. The Ghanaians are fairly well organized by freewheeling African standards, but they'll still challenge Germany with an energetic side, a mix of young talent and returning players who impressed four years ago. Ghana's loss of indomitable midfielder Michael Essien, however, will dent the Africans' chances.

8. 加纳vs. 德国，6月23日下午2:30 世界杯上最令人激情四溢，情至极致的话题是风格的对比——尽管有的风格在现代的比赛场上，有时被夸大地有点过了头，而足球文化则常常会将他们彼此融合在一起。但这次要拿出来做个对比。巴拉克因伤无缘世界杯，德国的作战风格又回归到从前的路数上去了：依靠高效的转移和纯粹的意志来磨出取胜的战机。加纳的组织相当不错，遵从的是非洲随心所欲的风格，但他们要挑战的德国依旧充满活力，他们中不仅有年青的战将，还有四年前给人留下印象深刻的回归球员。加纳在失去了锐不可挡的中场埃辛之后，便有一种力不从心之感。
