Matcho & Result: England vs Algeria (18 Jun 2010)

Match & Result: England vs Algeria (18 Jun 2010)Winner: Draw
Score: England(0) vs Algeria(0)

Recap

This was a disappointing game for England but interesting one for Algeria. Forget England, they sucked. Wayne Rooney sucked. The entire offense of England sucked, if they had any. All they knew was to kick the ball to nowhere, they setup plays that didn’t hit the target.

Forget England. Algeria was very good in helping out they goalkeeper. They defended well, they blocked, they challenges. Algeria had a good rhythm cutting down the shooting lanes of England. It was beautiful to watch Algeria tonight.

Key Takeaway

As I said in the pre-game match of England vs Algeria, both of these teams need a win to advance to the next round. A draw by both of them at least gives Algeria a chance to move to the next round and make history. They already made history today as no African team has beaten England, and these guys tied up England, one for the books.

Thanks for joining me. Hope to see you again in the next game, LivebloggingMilo.

I am updating this page with a summary of highlights on the first half, and second half. Also, I would post goals scored if any right away including the video here.

For details of happenings, you can get it at FIFA.

Below are the highlights:

This is a rather boring game which shows you how strong the defense of Algeria has become and how poor England is playing. England is 22 ranks ahead of Algeria but they are playing like they are the inferior team.

There are no goals scored and as such I haven’t posted any video here.

Matcho & Result: Slovenia vs USA (18 Jun 2010)

in Uncategorized

Match & Result: Slovenia vs USA (18 Jun 2010)Winner: Draw
Score: Slovenia(2) vs USA(2)
13′ Birsa (Slovenia)
42′ Ljubijankic (Slovenia)
48′ Donovan (USA)
82′ Bradley (USA)

Recap

Slovenia came up big in the first half as they scored their fastest goal in FIFA World Cup history for their country. Birsa had his first goal 13 minutes after kick-off and was followed by another from Ljubijankic before half-time ended. It seems that Slovenia was taking this game away from USA.

Second half started and Donovan quickly returned the favor with a goal on the 48th minute and was able to tie it up on the 82nd minute. USA was denied with another goal on the 85th minute when referee ruled out that Maurice Edu’s goal was nullified because of a violation that we cannot see in the replay.

Key Takeaway

USA has gotten stronger through the years and this showed us that USA is prime to compete with any team. They should have won this game if they weren’t robbed by the referee.

USA still has a chance to move to the next round if England and Algeria draw their game later tonight.

I am updating this page with a summary of highlights on the first half, and second half. Also, I would post goals scored if any right away including the video here.

For details of happenings, you can get it at FIFA.

Below are the highlights:

Mexico has won their first international win over France and they deserved this win as they were attacking aggressively, challenging plays of Rance and defended very well. Mexico has already assured themselves of a place in the next round.

79′ GOAL SCORED by Mexico via a free kick inside the penalty box, scored by C. Blanco

64′ GOAL SCORED by Mexico from J. Hernandez

Half-time

The first half is downright boring and given that it is already 3am from my timezone this is painful. Mexico and France just kept on exchanging possessions, going after the ball like they are playing a street game.

What impressed me most from a rather boring game is the determination and flashiness of Giovani dos Santos.
