2-7-14 world cup

ARGENTENA V SWIZERLAND

 

DI MARIA AND MESSI SAVE ARGENTENA

Switzerland had a very good chance early on to take the lead as the player gets to a one on one with the keeper but pushes it away. Lionel Messi had a shot from just outside the box. Should Argentina have had a penalty just before half time? A quality saves by the swizz goalkeeper of a Di Maria shot. In extra time Messi has the ball and runs at the defence and passes to Di Maria who is at the right side and shoots towards the left and it goes beyond the keeper and into the net. Shaquiri has the chance to score for the Swiss but he hits the post.  

USA V BELJIUM

 

USA VERY UNLUCKY BUT ITS LUKAKUS NIGHT

Both teams have had their chances in this match. Belgium seem to have more control of this match especially with the stat they had 18 corners in the match. Origi with the chance of the match one on one with the keeper but Howard gets down to save it. Lukaku wins  gets the ball just beyond the half way line and runs with it to just inside the half way line where he does an amazing pass back to De Bruyne who gets away from his defender and gets the ball into the net from an impossible angle to score. Belgium’s second was where De Bruyne gets the ball just ahead of the half way line and passes to Lukaku 2-0 Belgium. The USA do pull one back as Bradley passes to Jones and back again and there looks like there is nothing on but he puts this amazing ball through to Green who is one on one with the keeper one touch and scores. The USA should have equalised with the chances they have had but they could not.
