NETHERLANDS V AUSTRILIA

 

DUTCH MUST BE A LITTLE WORRIED

What a piece of skill from Robben getting the ball from a header from midfield then beating a man in an impossible position. Then taking on the defenders and shooting from a little bit of an angle to allow the Dutch to lead the match. What a pass and a peach of a volley from Cahill to equalise for Australia.  A cross type shot handled by the Dutch defender gives away a penalty. Jedinak puts it away to the opposite side of the goalkeeper. 2-1 Australia. Robin Van Persie gets the equaliser from a tricky angle from a pass by Snider 2-2. Maybe it should have been offside. The 20 year old substitute Depay gets a long range shot that is beyond his years and gets Holland the win and a place in the second round.

SPAIN V CHILLIE

 

END OF THE WORLD

The world and European champions are out of the world cup in the group phase. Alonso makes the mistake that gives the ball to Alexis Sanchez who gets the return from Vidal and a great cross type pass to Vargas. Chile leads 1-0. Sanchez hits a free kick and Casillas punches it out to Arganuiz who puts the ball in the net with 1 touch. Span definitely had their chances to get back in the match. 

CAMEROON V CROTIA

 

CROTIA SHOW THEY STILL HAVE LUCK AND CLASS

Serna gets the ball just ahead of the half way line and puts in a cross, Manzucic heads it back, Perasic puts the ball across to Olic  who passes the ball into the net and scores his first goal in the world cup for 12 years. Song elbows a Croatian player and gets sent off. A horrible goalkeeping error allows Perisic to run at the Cameroon defence and shoot from a wide angle and get a goal across the goal just after half time. Mandzukic gets the Croatians third goal with a good gross and perfect header from the corner. Great shot Eduardo keeper parries to Mandzukic who makes it 4.   

BARRYS PREDICTIONS

OLOMBIA 1-3 IVORY COAST

Ivory coast I think in this match have got players like Drogba and Toure that can changer a game and I think that this will happen

URUGUAY 1-2 ENGLAND

This is England's big chance to show what they can do and with players that can change a game like Rooney or Sterling I feel that this will be a very nervous match 

JAPAN 1-1 GREESE 

 This looks like Japans time to shine but I think that the experience that Greek players have in Europe means that they will score. If there is to be an Asian team it looks like Japan but I am not sure
