I really expected a lot more from the US. They dont have world class players like say Brazil or France, but they do have good players with good abilities. Their first world cup game was nothing more than a dissappointment. Ball control was lousy, team play sucked, and offensive strategy was nowhere to be found. For hyping up being #5 in the FIFA world rankings, and having a 10 year old soccer league, they really didnt show for it. Honestly, those ranking are crap. and I really hope the US has learned from this, they cant come and dominate something just because they feel they are the best. Its about how you play, not how you talk.
Italy vs Ghana. Honestly, both teams looked great. I was very impressed by Ghana, they held their own against another favorite. and actually ALMOST beat them. I'll bee keeping an eye on them. Italy is, well... Italy. they have an awesome team.
i didnt wake up for the korea vs togo game. i was too tired. but i saw the goals and it seems korea is doin well.
France vs Switzerland. France was not 100% France. they have had this "curse" lately where their players just cant gel together. Switzerland barely qualified to the World Cup due to having a better goal differential, but they had a solid team with a good defense... along with some good counter attacks. France needs to wake up, Zinedine Zidane cannot do it all by himself.
and now. im waiting to watch Brazil vs Croatia. a very very anticipated match. again, two power houses. i know for sure my team will watch this game...
