I'd no idea that the last matches for Group B were yesterday at 3 am, not today.So I missed the England-Sweden game. But I saw a bit of it when I came home this afternoon for a bit. According to the commentator, England was playing really well. But well, final score 2 - 2, Cole, Gerrard for England. Gerrard scored after Sweden had gotten an equaliser of Cole's lead. Hhahhaha! I love Gerrard forever. Short range goal, this one. Must have been in the right position.
So England remains at the top, since Sweden had another draw game with, um, I can't remember. Paraguay? And England had won its previous two. So yeah. England will see Ecuador, and Sweden will meet Germany. The Sweden - Germany game will be interesting. Germany, if they play as they played yesterday, will be a shoo-in. If.
As for TnT and Paraguay, 2-0. Hoooold on. Oh yeah, okay. Paraguay lost one while Sweden lost none, only had 2 draws and a win I think, against Paraguay 1-0. Drawing gives you a point while losing doesn't, so that gives Sweden a point over Paraguay. Argh, I can't figure out the damn tables.
I'm checking group standings. Yeah. I'm right.
So even though Sweden's only had one win and it's 1-0, unfortunately Paraguay has had 2 losses so GD isn't going to make up for anything. Pity.
Actually - no.
Next up is Group C and D - Argentina's group and Portugal's group, if we're talking about the big playas. Argentina whipped SnM, I think, how much..? I can't remember. They'll be playing the Dutch, and Portugal be playing Mexico. It's always the top 2 playing - I think they designed it that way, whoever they expected to be top 2 they saved it for the last. Unfortunately for Group F that isn't the case *sniff*.
Well, I'll be able to catch the Portugal game, but not Argentina - be out tmr. Pity, I"ve been wanting to catch Argentina for some time! I haven't been able to catch anybody from Group C except the Dutch and the, um, SnM. Because that was the only match I watched from Group C. They have such inconvenient timings.
I should hole myself up during the world cup, but oh well - I need to fork out a living somehow. At least I survived my bout of A level teaching. Now's just the normal jobs. Sigh. Oh well. I do need the money to survive - I need to replace my chipped lenses.
Till then.
