Day's Eleven & Twelve

In Day eleven we start  with GROUP G, where out of form PORTUGAL took on the USA. After a quick goal by Portugal in the first five minutes of play, The Americans came back fighting and actually went in front but Portugal equalised in the very last minute of injury time to draw 2-2. Germany are top here with 4 points, USA are second also with four points and 4 goals. Ghana are third with one point and at the bottom of the pack comes Portugal with one point and 2 goals. In GROUP H, BELGIUM picked up their 3^rd goal of the tournament as they beat RUSSIA 1-0. In the other game, Algeria beat South Korea 4-2. So Belgium are top with six points and 3 goals with Algeria second with three points and then follow Russia with one point and 1 goal. South Korea are fourth also with one point.

So At the end of day eleven at the games and the end of the second games in the first round, our goals total now stands at 64 goals. We had five teams that have failed to score in their second game and they are Brazil, Italy, Mexico, Russia and Spain.

Best four teams to date are FRANCE (8) HOLLAND (8) GERMANY (6) COLOMBIA (5) Total of 27 goals.

On Day twelve we started the third and final games from Round one.

In GROUP A, The host BRAZIL took on the Cameroon’s and this should have been an easy game for them. But as always with football, things can and do not go to plan. Brazil went a goal up only to be cancelled out by Cameroon a bit later on. That was the first and only goal for the Cameroon’s as Brizil put the pressure on and won the game 4-1. In the other game MEXICO took on Croatia in their third and final game in this round and won 3-1. Brazil finished top of this group with seven points and 7 goals. In second place Mexico also finished on seven points but had a total of 4 goals. Croatia finished third with three points and then the Cammeroons with no points at all. We say good-by to Croatia and the Cameroon’s.

In GROUP B, HOLLAND beat CHILE 2-0 and finally but too late, SPAIN win 3-0 against Australia. Holland have won all of their first three games and have a total of 10 goals. Chile finished on six points and have 5 goals. We say good-by to Spain with three points and only 4 goals which is the worst they have ever had with Golden Goals. Australia also go home with no points but they have done well by netting three goals.

Our only team out at this point, which we already know is Spain from Group B with 18 votes.

So the games are starting to form as we get ready for Round Two of the World Cup finals. Game One is BRAZIL v CHILE. In Game Three HOLLAND v MEXICO.

There will be another up date as soon as I can.
