What They're Saying
Ghana head coach Avram Grant (via Goal): "I know Guinea. I saw their games and I must say they play very good football. They know how to play football and they have good players and they deserve to be here in the quarterfinals. They will be a very tough team to beat."
Guinea head coach Michel Dussuyer: "Mali do not deserve to be eliminated in this way [drawing of lots], just as we do not. It is tough because they also deserved to go through. They missed a penalty against us and then they go out on a drawing of lots. Luck was on our side, but if we have got to the quarterfinals, it is because we deserved to somewhere."
