World Cup Day Five

In Group G we have three two of the four teams in this group. SWITZERLAND played their first game against CAMEROON and won the game 1-0 with the goal coming early in the second half. Switzerland are in their very first Golden Goals World Cup. Cameroons are in their fifth World Cup with us and their highest total of goals came in their first cup competition in USA 1994 with 3 goals. Both teams have one vote each in Qatar. BRAZIL won 2-0 against Serbia after a very disappointing first half from Brazil in their first game. Brazil are in their 9th World cup with us. Their highest number of goals came in the 2002 Korea/Japan with 18. In Russia 2018 they finished with 8 goals and lost in the quarter-finals against Belgium. In Qatar they have the highest number of votes with 31. 

The group stands with BRAZIL and SWITZERLAND joint top of the group with 3 points each. CAMEROON are in third place with Serbia at the bottom of the group. 

In Group H we have two of the four teams. URUGUAY drew 0-0 against South Korea in their first game. Uruguay are in their fourth World Cup with us. The biggest total of goal scored by them was 7 in Russia 2018. They then had a total of 7 votes while Qatar they have just three. PORTUGAL won 3-2 against Ghana starting with a penalty in the second half scored by Ronaldo in the 65th minute. It was a great game to watch. Portugal are in their 6th Golden Goals World Cup and their biggest total of goals came in the 2006 and 2010 with 7 goals in each. In Russia 2018 they picked up a total of 6 goals and went out in the second round. They have a total of 12 votes in Qatar. 

The group stands with PORTUGAL top with 3 points, followed by URUGUAY and South Korea both with a point each. Ghana are in fourth place.
