Day 2 Fifa World Cup (17)



Yayy more then 2 games on today!












SOUTH KOREA VS GREECE: 2-0












As a portuguese supporter of course I want to see Greece suffer. However I still had a feeling South Africa would beat Greece in this game, and BEAT them they did.

Greece started the game off strong then Korea scored a set piece goal mid-way through the half.
Macnhester United's Park Ji Sung put the game away with the second goal in the second.

ARGENTINA VS NIGERIA : 1-0
Argentina has one of the most telented teams in the tournament, when you have players like Diego Milito and Sergio Auguero on the bench you know your team is staked. So you would figure that a match against Nigeria would be a cake walk, in some ways it was and in some others it wasnt. Lionel Messi had SO MANY chances to score today but the Nigerian goalkeeper was unbeatable against him. They managed to pull off the victory anyway but even though the match was one sided I expsected more from the powerhouse squad.

ENGLAND VS USA :1-1
England came out strong and fast scoring in the first few minutes of the match. Started with a beautiful pass from Heskey and was finished with a lovely touch by stephen Gerrard. The game continued to be exciting with lots of chances from england but American goalkeeper tim Howard kept the American's in it.

Late in the 1st half the US scored a goal that was a shocker. You gotta see it to understand.
