so far all the big teams have won their games except france who still hasnt scored a goal in the world cup since 1998...brazil wasnt as explosive as expected...the reason in my opinion is because they r playin with kaka ronaldinho adriano & ronaldo(who was the ghost of ronaldo yesterday) together...each 1 of these guys is a superstar in his club & all the game is abt him...but now each 1 of them touches the ball 4 times less which doesnt allow him 2 express himself...& yesterday the brazilian midfield was in huge difficulties because they were losin the ball 2 often...its gonna shock some ppl but i think that adriano should sit on the bench & be replaced by gilberto silva 2 allow more freedom of movement for ronaldinho & the presence of gilberto silva will give a push to the midfield to deliver more balls to their strikers...parreira's system didnt work yesterday due 2 the big croatian organization who almost scored 2 goals in this game(babic had a terrific game & gave cafu a very hard time)...but against japan the system will be more efficient because brazil is much more talented & physical than the japanese squad...but look out from australia who has a very gd squad...
as 4 france again very deceiving...ribery lost many balls on his left side & missed a huge opportunity 2 score(even though there was a penalty when the swiss defender deflected henry's shot with his hand)...henry confirms the theory that he s excellent with arsenal & very average with his national team...zidane still the undisputable leader...he may not have ronaldinho's touch but he never makes a wrong decision...i sincerely hope france will deliver a gd game against south korea & finally score a goal...south korea's performance shows that the team is far from the 1 that got 2 the semi-finals in 2002...i dont think they ll be able 2 make it 2 the next round...as 4 togo like the rest of the african teams tough luck
in almost 2hrs spain will start its campaign against a solid team of ukraine & 2nite we ll see germany's 2nd game against poland
so far no huge performances from any1 except the czech republic & croatia(yes croatia ) now the teams r more involved in the competition & we should see more improvement in their game level...1st stop:2nite germany-poland
