Le Blur France goes out to Mexico June 18, 2010

A very lack lustre French team went out to a more cohessive Mexican side, in a game which the former World Cup winners never showed the sparkle that made them world champions before. And what is Thierry Henry doing on the bench ! Maybe rumours of disquiet within the team has some merit as they never seemed to play as a team, with wild individual shots at goal and some appalling free kicks.
Au revoir France…
Now that the Mexican side needs a draw with Uruguay will we see a lack lustre match with both teams going for the draw which will take both to the last 16 ? We shall see…

Australia can learn a lot about not being intimidated by a higher ranking opponent and giving all you got from the Peoples Republic of Korea as they held off the Brazilian team ranked No 1 in the FIFA rankings. Being the 105th ranking team, they were expected to be steamed rolled by the “superior” Brazilian side. But the PRK team came out with guns blazing and have put up a good fight frustrating the Brazilian team at every corner. Until half time the score has been 0:0. Maicon managed to score the first goal just after half time but the PRK team are not lying down to give up yet and are still attacking the Brazilian goal.
Brazil has shown some of their usual flair but I feel they are looking for that great impressive out of the box goal rather then passing the ball to get into a position to score the goal. Unlike the German side which exhibited more cohessive playing with precision passing and more mechanized game, it will be interesting to see what happens if these two meet up. Brazil has not shown the dominance of the No 1 ranking team.

The German soccer machinery seems well oiled and ready for this World Cup with an extreme display of team work and great passing in today’s match against Australia. Firing off their World Cup opening match with a resonding 4:0 victory against Australia, they served notice that they are ready to take back their crown at this World Cup.
Australia was simply out classed and the sending off to Tim Cahill with an immediate red card was just the nail on the coffin.

Tonight sees one of the most anticipated face off in this years World Cup in South Africa, USA vs England.
Can the US team pull another “Miracle on grass” and recreate a major upset as before ? Previously the US team consisted of mainly semi-professionals. Now the US team consist of some formidable players like :
Landon Donovan who has been playing with Everton and Bayern Munich
Clint Dempsey has been playing for Fulham
Carlos Bocanegra who has also played for Fulham
Seems like a lot of Chelsea players in the England squad …but that is for a differrent discussion.
An truely hot match up highly anticipated by football fans everywhere.

With the World Cup just around the corner, the US team got a boost in the friendly with Turkey when then won 2-1 with the winning goal scored by Fulham’s Clint Dempsey. With a clean pass from Landon Donovan, Clint Dempsey blitz the Turkish defence to score the decisive winning goal.
Looking towards the World Cup in South Africa, this great combination will hopefully help the USA team pull off some surprises as the under dogs in this prestigious soccer tournament.
