Who wouldda thunk?!
Halftime score - ENGLAND - 1 (Gerrard 4') USA - 1 (Dempsey 40') England were very impressive right from the start. Repeated run-ins by Rooney and Heskey kept the pressure on the USA's defenses and they conceded the goal very early. Brilliant touch by Heskey found Gerrard at the exact spot from where he had the US goalie totally wrongfooted. 1-0, England. But then came their lucky break. It was a fairly inocuous attempt at goal by Dempsey which looked to be heading straight into Green's hands for an easy collection, but would you believe it...the ball seemed to have a mind of it's own as it swerved slightly out of Green's grasp and as if in slow motion, rolled slowly into the England goal with a diving Green trying desperately to keep it out! Weird, exasperating and slightly embarrassing moment for Green. Joy for the USA! Let's see what the 2nd half unfolds...

Okay...just flicked it on to check (not a footie fan). How the FUCK has it got to the 74th minute without us dominating you yanks?! I thought you were meant to be terrible!

FINAL SCORE -
ENGLAND - 1 (Gerrard 4') USA - 1 (Dempsey 40') What a wonderful entertaining game! This is how all WC matches should be played. The second half was one of the most keenly contested halves you ll ever get to see. It was really heartening to see the USA team match England pretty much shot for shot, effort for effort. More than 30 shots were attempted at goal (2 of which materialised), and both goalkeepers were kept very busy till the very end. It was fast, it was challenging and it was really competitive. I was really impressed by the USA defender (the bearded fellow...I forgot his name) who had Rooney covered all through the match. Plenty of chances for both sides. None really mattered in the end. You can imagine all sorts of scorelines for such matches, and this is a perfect example of even a drawn match providing so much fantastic entertainment. The best match of the WC so far. Escape and joy for USA. Smirks and shake of heads for England. They need to pull up their socks for the next game. USA can only improve from here on. Time for bed now. Night, folks.

Good morning, good afternoon and good evening, wherever you are and are reading this post.
Today is a slightly indifferent day in the WC - ALGERIA takes on SLOVENIA in a minute. Battle of the minnows. Then we have GHANA taking on SERBIA. Another minnows battle. And the big one for tonight, GERMANY versus AUSTRALIA. That should be a humdinger. For this one, I predict 2-1 to Slovenia. Catch you all with an update after the first half is over.

Halftime score -
ALGERIA - 0 SLOVENIA - 0 The goalkeepers of both teams pulled off some good saves but overall it was a dull first half. Like Angra would say - "Yawnnnn!" or "Boring!". Maybe I was a bit over-ambitious with my scoreline prediction. 1 - 0 won't be a bad result for this one, either way.

FINAL SCORE -
ALGERIA - 0 SLOVENIA - 1 (Koren 79') Well the second half provided a bit more entertainment than the first, if you can call that. Algeria were down to 10 men in the 73rd minute when one of their substitutes, Ghezzal, picked up two yellow cards - the second one for a glaring handball - which adds to the red card. That might have spurred the Slovenians on. Koren, the captain, sent in a very inocuous looking shot straight at the Algerian goal and the goalkeeper totally lost it. Maybe another goalie would have easily collected it, or maybe it was due to the controversial "perfectly round" Jabulani ball for this WC, but he was left with empty hands while the ball swung slightly away from him into the far corner of the goal. Great moment for the Slovenians, embarrassing for Algeria. And that's how the scoreline stayed till the end. History was made as Slovenia registered their first ever win in the WC Finals. Coming up in 30 minutes - SERBIA versus GHANA.
