Boring....
Monday, June 19, 2006
Well.....The World Cup is getting a bit boring...There's like a cycle...Example like today's match will have so many goals, then the following day's matches will have very little goals. Croatia's Dario Srna missed a penalty, after Japan's Kawaguchi got down very well to palm the penalty kick away. If Croatia miss out on qualification by a point or two, they might just blame Srna for that vital miss and two points wasted.
Australia got beaten 2-0 by
samba Brazil. Adriano got the ball rolling in the second half by scoring after some good footwork and a low pass by the
"fat" Ronaldo. Australia had twice the chance to score when one of their players could go one-on-one with Brazil's goalkeeper Dida. Bresciano and Kewell were the guilty parties not to have got pass the defensive Ze Roberto. Dida had dropped a high Roberto Carlos clearing header and Kewell had a wonder chance to score and equalise a few minutes after he came on. He had an open goal in front of him but he blasted it over the bar after pressure from Dida. Fred scored the last but Australia just need a draw to get through.
France are desperate...DESPERATE! Park Ji Sung's late goal gave South Korea the top of Group G. France have to count on a draw on the Togo vs Switzerland match if they want to qualify. A win from either team will lift either above France. Thierry Henry finally scored but a 81th minute goal from Park gave each side a point.
- KOR 2PLD 4PTS
- FRA 2PLD 2PTS <-- If Swiss win, they will be second on the last day 2 points
- SWI 1PLD 1PTS <-- above the French. If Togo win, they'll be second and a point above
- TOG 1PLD 0PTS <-- France. If both draw, the table will be the same.
