Brazil

The final 16 of the tournament has been decided and we have seen some teams meeting our expectations while some were big surprises in the tournament.

The biggest losers were led by United States ranked number 5 by FIFA and Czech Republic seated at number 2 prior the start of the competition. We have also seen some higher rank teams like Japan (18), Tunisia (21), Iran (23), Croatia (23), etc . left behind by Switzerland (35), Ecuador (39), Australia (42), Ukraine (45) and Ghana (48).

Australia World Cup

What can I say? I just reported on the end game tactics of Australia to capitalize on Croatia’s weaker defense because of banned player Robert Kojac sitting out the last game.

The game is arguably the most exciting and heart stopping show so far in the tournament which ended with Australia making history by booking the last ticket to the the next stage.

Ronaldo Is Axed!

18 years ago in Uncategorized
