Day Six

Day six we had the very last two games from the first round games from Group H. BELGIUM were first up and they wen t down 1-0 in the first half against Algeria but came back and won 2-1. Belgium have fourteen votes in this Wrold Cup and this is their fourth World Cup with us. The last time that Golden Goals picked them was back in the 2002 finals where they finished on their highest total of goals with six. 

In the other game RUSSIA in their fourth Golden Goals World Cup drew 1-1 against South Korea. Russia have two votes from us and they were last in the 2002 finals picking up just 4 goals. The best that they have done was in the 1994 finals with 7 goals but failed to go beyond the first round games.

So At the end of the six day games, seventeen Golden Goals nations have now all scored goals giving us a record breaking total of 37 goals. We had two teams that have failed to score and they were Nigeria and Portugal.

Also last night we saw the start of the second set of games in Round One. The host nation, BRAZIL take on second place MEXICO from Group A. Both sides showed a little of what they could do in the first game, but last night both teams seemed to be a little nervous as both teams had to win. But that was not to be and the result was a very disapointing 0-0. Both teams picked up their first blank score sheet in these games. So Brazil remain top with Mexico second with the Cameroons and Croatia playing tonight.
