WORLD CUP 2006:
Germany 4
Lahm 6'
Klose 17',64'
Frings 87'
Costa Rica 2
Wanchope 12',73'
Germany make history by beating Costa Rica 4-2 to mark the opening of the world cup. This is the highest scoring opening game to date where Paulo Wanchope and Klose scored 2 goals for their respective sides. germany had 2 other goalscorers in Lahm and Fringe. Poland was stunned by the South Americans Ecudour 2-0.
England 1
Beckham 3
Paraguay 0
Trinadad and Tobago 0
Sweden 0
England started on a high after David Beckham struck the quickest goal of the tournament thus far, scoring after 3 minutes. His 35 yard free-kick seemed to have taken a nick of the Paraguay skipper Gamarra but it has been said that it might be credited to Beckham. In the other group game, Singapore referee Samsul Maidin red carded A. John as T&T held Sweden to a goalless draw.
Argentina 2
Crespo 24'
Saviola 38'
Ivory Coast 1
Drogba 82'
Serbia & Motenegro 0
Holland 1
Ajren Robben 18'
Argentina and holland started the group of death with three points after edging out Ivory Coast and Serbia and Motenegro respectively. All strikers were on target with three Chelsea players hitting the back of the net.
Mexico 3
Omar bravo 28',76'
Iran 1
Y Golmohammadi 36'
Angola 0
Portugal 1
Pauleta 4
Mexico and Portugal beat group minnows to register three points each to show that there will be little shocks in this world cup.
Preview:
Australia vs Japan, Brazil vs Croatia
With this tight group, little would espect nothing more than Brazil and Croatia to advance. This to me is a group of death as well. I say that Australia and japan will battle to a 4 goal draw and for Croatia to hold Brazil 1-1.
USA vs Czech republic, Italy vs Ghana
Everyone expects Czech and italy to go through. but many forget that in the last world cup, USA were denied a final spot against brazil due to poor refereeing. They gave germany a runabout and this year, I predict them to top the group with a 2-0 win over the Czechs. Italy has been perorming under national standards for the past four years and i don't see them shining this year as well. I say a 1-1 draw for Ghana.
