The matches
Argentina 2 v Mexico 1 - Best game of the 16 Mexico played out of their skins. Extra time and a brilliant goal from Maxi. Meant that Argentina are through - but only just!
Germany 2 v Sweden 0 - One way traffic very disappoint effort from Sweden none of the spirit they showed against England. This miss from Larsson was criminal and so was there defence. Germany were lucky not to win by 7 goals. On this form they could go all the way !!
England 1 v Ecaudor 0 - the 2nd most boring game. Upside what an amazing goal from David Beckham. He is a real real captain he covers every blade of grass and is a true inspiration ( even when vomiting on the pitch ). Nice touches from Wayne Rooney but the rest why did you bother.
Portugal 1 v Holland 0 - Oh my life! The night of the cards - Red and Yellow. What an appaulling display of behaviour from both teams. While FIFA's officials blame the ref I blame the players. PLAY FAIR is the motto not head butt, cripple, push, fight, dive and throw trantrums! While Holland should have played Rudd Van the Man Nistlerooy they still should have done better. Portugal were lucky and a bit dirty and Figo you are a captain and role model you don't head butt people.
Brazil 3 v Ghana 0 - No Surprises but I thought Ghana did very well and were very fit running around the whole time. If only they could only shoot they would be dangerous! Brazil good but they didn't like the game up.
Italy 1 v Australia 0 - Harsh Red Card for Italy but never a penatly you don't step towards a person and fall over them. Terrible ref and shame on the player !!! Hard luck Oz better luck next time !
Switzerland 0 v Ukraine 0 ( 0-3 penalites) - Officially the boring game - Shame the Swiss did not win because the Ukraine should not be here and they know that they cheated to get there.Thank goodness for penalities.
France 3 v Spain 1 - A huge fan of both teams for different reasons - However France looked like the old team of 1998 however Henry said he was hit in the face and he never was. This led to a free kick and a goal. However France did look the better side and the score broke many Spanish hearts ( again !!! )
The Top Things that FIFA must sort out ( in my world )
Figo ( Portugal ) must get banned for that head butt … I mean come on ….!!
Shevchenko ( Ukraine ) kicked himself and got a penalty in the group matches; he needs to be heavily fined and banned from matches like the Italian De Rossi .
Heinze ( Argentina ) fouled Fonseca when he was the last man and had a clear chance on goal …. he needs to have his card upgraded to a red ( the ref got it wrong! )
Henry ( France ) should get fined he never got hit in the face but made it look like he got a free kick which lead to a 2-1 lead. I adore Henry but not like that!
Simunic ( Croatia ) the guy with 3 yellow cards and he didn't walk fine him too ( it will stop players staying on the pitch when they should not ! )
