One of the better games of the tournament that ended without single goal. Some great shots and saves by both teams including Kawaguchi’s penalty save shown in the picture to the left. It was very frustrating to watch and I am glad it wasn’t England playing as both teams had chances but they just would not go in. Problem that Japan have now is that they have Brazil in the next game and I just don’t think they are up to the task.
Meanwhile it is half time now during the Brazil and Australia match and I have to say that Australia are looking a good side and there does not seem to be much in between the sides. Viduka is looking strong and quick getting some great tackles in. Emerton is getting all over the pitch and put in a good tackle in defence. Kaka is looking the best of the bunch for the Brazilians. Let the second half commence.
4 minutes in and Adriano makes it 1-0 but still Australia keep on pushing until Kewell missed a clear cut chance to equalise but skied it high and wide.
A draw would have been a fair result as the Ausies battled on until Fred slotted an easy shot from Robinho shoot that struck the bar and feel to Fred’s feet.
The game ends 2-0 but fair play to Australia who I felt played extremely well.
Well France are looking miles better then last week and seem to be on top of their game against Korea. Can I just say that I love the South Korean fans; they have been singing and cheering all the way through that first half of the match. It’s nice to see the fans cheering on their side even if they are losing.
What can I say about Henry, I don’t like his club but the guy can score goals and this was no exception? Henry got past two defenders to score Frances first goal in 4 World Cup games. France should have had a second goal as Vieira’s shot crossed the line before keeper Lee Woon-Jae got a hand to it, but oh well it’s only France.
Second Half: Well what can I say, the fans were hyper and cheering again, France played well again but there was no urgency in their game. It was like they never wanted another goal and then disaster struck when Park Ji-Sung found the back of the net to make another French World Cup disaster. After the goal the French played better and quicker and it makes you wonder why they never played like that all the way through.
I had to laugh as Zidane got subbed he just strolled past his manager without saying a word. Then in the final seconds of the game Korea got a free kick but sadly missed.
France 1-1 South Korea.
Rumour has it that Toga won’t play their next game unless they get paid more money. What’s that all about?
