From the Guardian:

44 mins: Brazil 2-0 Ghana Injustice! Lucio charged forward and fed Cafu down the right. He centred to Adriano, who tapped it home from a clearly offside position! Another scandalous decision in this increasingly farcical World Cup

From BBC:

45 mins: GOAL Brazil 2-0 Ghana Adriano doubles Brazil's lead, tapping in a cross from Cafu after a sweeping end-to-end move - but it was clearly off-side. Immediately before, Sulley Muntari almost tip-toed his way through the flaky Brazil defence at the other end.

From the Times:

45 mins: GOAL! Vintage Brazil. Ghana are attacking, 15 seconds later the ball is in their net. Lucio picks it up in the middle of his half, gallops forward, feeds Kaka, then Cafu on the right in the blink of an eye. His cross is deep, where Adriano has been quick enough not just to get up the pitch, but also to be offside. However, the richochet is enough, it goes in and the linesman is harrangued. Still, that's 2-0.

Did Ronaldo not score first... what is this about off sides on the second score from Adriano?

Games are won by a 1 to 0 Score... Give Ronaldo credit.

Catch me if you can!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ronaldo to FreeRepublic:

"Get over it, all we have in Brazil is soccer - we don't even have food... that is why we are so good at soccer and that is, also, why you should not call me a Fat Cow."
