World Cup - Update 2

Now that the first round of matches are done with at the Group stage, it is time for another update. Good exciting matches on the whole...better than i expected at this stage. Thankfully no upsets or really bizzarre results.

Anyways continuing from where I left off...

June 12
  1. Australia vs Japan (3-1): Great game, and the aussies showed that they belonged.
  2. Czech Republic vs USA (3-0): The most one sided game so far, the US were pathetic to say the least. I think they should just stick "American Football".
  3. Italy vs Ghana (2-0): Another nice game. Italy were pushed all the way...

June 13
  1. South Korea vs Togo(2-1): First win for an Asian side. Doubt if either of these two teams will make it to Round 2. Of course if the teams continue to play insipid football...well...
  2. France vs Switzerland (0-0): The other two teams of Group G. Hardly any chances created. France haven't scored for 4 matches now...
  3. Brazil vs Croatia (1-0): The eternal favourites in action. A good game, Croatia not only kept Brazil in check, but created plenty of chances of their own. This makes the Croatia - Australia match quite promising.
June 14
  1. Spain vs Ukraine (4-0): Superlative performance from the Spanish side. Will they do justice to the talent this time round?
  2. Tunisia vs Saudi Arabia (2-2): The Saudis must have thought they have it in the bag once they scored their second goal. But an injury time equalizer keeps Tunisia in the hunt.
Best Team so far: Hard to say, Czech Republic and Spain were superb.
Worst Team so far: Easily the USA.
