25-6-14 world cup day

ENGLAND V COSTA RICA

 

ENGLAND GET RESULT BUT DESERVED MORE

England got a 0-0 draw but they should be more satisfied with this match than any of the others. They had chances created by Rooney, Sturridge and Shaw and had most of the big chances in this match. Costa Rica have had a couple but seemed quite satisfied with the draw that they got. From an English perspective they should be happy.

URUGUAY V ITALY

 

SUAREZ BIT URUGUAY INTO LAST 16

 In the play off between Italy and Uruguay. Mario Balotelli was booked for kicking a defender which meant he would not play in the last 16 tie.  Claudio Marcisio was sent off for a hard tackle on the Uruguay defender which looks harsh to me .Suarez had bitten Ciol but the referee did not see it. Perfect corner and perfect header from Godin to make it 1-0 to Uruguay.  

GREECE V IVORY COAST

THE DEATH OF ZEO

Tyote looses possession for Ivory coast a quality 1,2 and Samaras gets the goal that gives Greese the lead. Gervinio lays the ball back to Wilfred Bony the Swansea city player who equalises for the Ivory Coast. Samaras goes down from a tackle from Zeo and he puts the penalty away right at the death final score 2-1 Greece.

COLOMBIA V JAPAN

RODREGEZ THE STAR OF THE DAY

Marnez into Ramos in a position where nothing can happen Penalty Cuadrado puts it away on 7 minutes. Ozakaki gats the goal from a wonder cross from Honda Japan equalise on the last moment of the half. Rodriguez lays it off to Martinez who puts Colombia into the lead again. Rodriguez gets the ball beyond the halfway line and passes to Martinez just inside the box that shoots from an angle and scores. A great pass into Rodriguez who takes on and dummies the Japan defenders before putting the ball in the net Colombia win 4-1.

BARRY PREDICTIONS

NIJERIA V ARGENTENA

In my opinion Argentina are one of the teams that can win this world cup and a win over Nigeria will help in their momentum. I feel that Argentina will win 3-1.  

BOSNIA HERZEGOVINA V IRAN

This is the match of the mimeos and I would think that Bosnia would have more but would not be surprised with a draw.

EQUADOR V FRANCE

France looks to be the man on form so I feel that this could be a simple win for them.

HONDURAS V SWIZERLAND

I feel that this will be a score draw 2-2 as there is not that much difference and does look like the tournament of the Americans.
