Day Four

In Day Four of the tournament, we had four of our teams in action. In Group E COSTA RICA lost 1-0 to Serbia. Costa Rica are in their first Golden Goals World Cup and they have only one vote. Also our second highest voted nation of 29, is BRAZIL. They scored in the first 20 minutes of the first half against Switzerland but they came back in the second half to draw 1-1 with the Champions.  Not what we expected from Brazil. Brazil have been in all of our eight World Cups and they last won the cup in 2002. That is the year that they scored their highest amount of goals in a tournament with 18 goals. They have scored a total of 77 goals in the last seven World Cups.

In Group F, GERMANY played their first game against MEXICO. We have not had an upset in the World Cup until this game. Mexico won 1-0 with the goal coming in the 35^th minute of the first half.  Last World Cup winners, Germany are in their 8^th World Cup with us and that is also where they scored their highest amount with 18. They have picked up the most number of votes in Russia with 36. Mexico are in their 6^th World Cup and they scored a total of five goals in Brazil 2014.

So after the fourth days play, thirteen of our eighteen nations have now played and now three have picked up a blank score sheet. We stand at a total of 19 goals to date.
