Ghana, apparently, is having a hard time picking itself up after the team's 2-0 loss to Italy on Monday. Ghana coach Ratomir Dujkovic says no one is suffering more than defender Sami Kuffour, who
gifted the second goal to Vicenzo Iaquinta after bungling his back pass to the goalkeeper. For those who remember Manchester United's amazing comeback against Bayern Munich in the '99 Champions League
