FIFA WORLD CUP 2006

What a cracker of a match it was, between England and Portugal, hopes of England has been demolished by Portugal with score line of 3-1, in the penalty shoot out, with an incredible saves by Ricardo, the Portuguese goalkeeper. I was wrong in my last article when I said that Figo might not play because of Red card but that was not the case, as I was confused with Deco who got the card and not Figo, and he displayed some good football. But the hero of day was Ricardo with some brilliant saves to shatter the hopes of England.
In the match between Brazil and France, it was the brilliant display of football by Zenedine Zedane famously known as ZIZU. Brazil don’t have any answers to ZIZU, who showed some beautiful football playing, he made the Brazilians look as they were not Brazil but any other team. Ronaldo, Ronaldinho, Kaka, Adriano, Cafu, Carlos, all look very ordinary in this match, they didn’t live up to there reputation. It was disappointing to see the Brazilian performance in the match; they just couldn’t stop Zizu and Henry. The performances of Ronaldo again disappointing, Ronaldinho magic failed.
All in all, it was a sad day for Brazil and his fans. Brazil lost the match to France with a score of 1-0. Now France meets Portugal in the Semi-Finals.
Well now only the European teams left in the tournament to compete for FIFA World Cup 2006, quite interesting….Na!
