Interesting day today. England continued to play very subpar game. One striker against a clearly weaker team was an odd choice and for some bizarre reason the off-form looking team didn’t even try to test Ecuador’s weak goalie.
Portugal vs Holland was an entertaining fight. Biggest winner of the match was England – after those red cards they just may have a chance against Portugal.
Quick picks for tomorrow:
Italy wins Australia by either 1-0 or 2-0. Italy always gets more motivated, when the real world cup begins and this time will be no exception. Australia is an ok team, but they would need to pull a -huge- upset here. It doesn’t help that both of their goalies have been quite terrible so far.
Swiss beat Ukraine. Swiss team may not have great individuals, but they play well as a team and that is what Ukraine can’t handle, as their one star player can beat weak teams, but beating a good team would require some help and that Shevchenko doesn’t get. Ukraine wouldn’t even be this far, if it hadn’t played in the super weak group H.
