De Futebol
Day three is underway at the World Cup.
Finally, we have victories instead of ties. Red Cards were the order of the day too.
Ghana was in complete control of the match. Sure, Serbia had their chances but in a matter a moments, the match was spun on its ear. A Red Card and handball spelled doom for Serbia.
Ghana defeated Serbia 1-0.
Asamoah Gyan nailed the PK in the 84th minute to lift Ghana to a 1-0 win.
The idiot Serbian defender Zdravko Kuzmamovic punched the ball out the goal area.
This was dumb.
He should be shot for such stupidly.
Algeria lost to Slovenia 1-0.
Robert Koren nailed the match winner in the 79th minute.
Algerian keeper Faouzi Chaouchi blew it. The ball bounced off his hands into the net.
This is Deja vue all over again.
Algerian Abdelkader Ghezzal was given the heave-hoe in the 73rd minute.
So far, there has been lots of crappy play and many surprises.
The teams that I thought would have a great shot at winning the whole shooting match have played like crap.
England tied one all with the USA while Argentina squeaked by Nigeria 1-0.
Both of these sides should have won hands down.
The USA only has one world-class player Tim Howard.
Word has it that he is injured when he suffered a cleat to the chest.
If we loss him our goose is royally cooked.
Germany killed Australia 4-0.
The Aussies had a chance to score early but nada.
The German’s turned up the heat and scored lightening quick to put this baby away early.
Lukas Podolski ripped the twines in the 8th minute.
Ozil’s great corner into the box set up this baby. Muller flicked a great pass to Podolski who has an easy shot into the back of net.
Klose’s header in the 26th minute ended this puppy right here.
2-0 Germany.
The Aussie’s goose is cooked.
Germany added two more goals by Muller (67th minute) and Cacau (70th minute).
Day three is over and the German’s played the best futebol of the day.
Day four is coming up
The Netherlands escaped with a 2-0 win over Denmark.
An own goal by Denmark’s Daniel Agger in the 46th minute spelled doom the Danish side.
Liverpool star Dirk Kuyt put the final nail in the Danish coffin in the 85th minute.
Japan shut out Cameroon 1-0.
Defending World Cup Champs Italy tied with Paraguay 1-1.
Paraguayan striker Antolin Alcaraz nailed a perfect header into the back of the net in the 39th minute for a 1-0 lead.
Alcaraz out leaped two Italian defenders for the winner.
This was set up by a great free kick into the depths of the box.
The Italians found the answer in the 63rd minute.
Daniele D Rossi directed home a well-placed corner kick to the far right post. Rossi flicked the ball into the back of the net to even this sucker up at one all.
This is a huge tie for Paraguay.
Italy had most of the possessions.
On Tuesday Brasil takes on North Korea.
We need to come out smoking and kick some major butt.
Go Brasil.
