World Cup Update
4:06 AM
Haven't been watching, so just mere goal updates.1) France vs Switzerland: 0 - 0
heard that France was not up to expectations.
2) Brazil vs Croatia: 1 - 0, Kaka.
ditto, but according to my sister it was enjoyable. Croatian defense was good, although they weren't impenetrable. I think no defense is impenetrable. You just have to find that one second of weakness.
3) Spain vs Ukraine: 4 - 0.
Didn't hear anything about this.
4) Saudi Arabia vs Tunisia: 2 - 2.
Was following the live commentary. Tunisia's second goal was in the 90th. real sad.
5) Germany vs Poland: 1 - 0
only goal by neuville during injury time. I watched the last 20 mins or so. poland tried their very best, and I must say I'm not wowed by germany (I never have been) but the good thing about Germany is that they don't waste striking chances, and I think that this makes the world of a difference. poland seemed to have given up striking altogether. Foul was not worth it but people make mistakes. Poland can't blame itself except for its reluctance to not strike.
Tonight: Ecuador vs Costa Rica, England vs TnT, Sweden vs Paraguay. Sweden better win this one to make it to the next round. And if Ecuador manages to to beat CR, they'll be able to make it too, because Poland's gone, and they won't even have to win Germany if they beat CR.
England already has one loss. If it loses to TnT it'll have no choice but to beat Sweden. TnT may do something interesting. They kept their previous match with Sweden to a goal-less draw.
Till then.
