After a draw in their first game, everyone expected England to come out and beat the Algerian team and get their first points on the board. The match started with the commentators posing the question “Can Algeria do to England what Switzerland did to Spain?”
Algeria may not have won the game but they managed to hold England to a goalless draw. In their last match, all the criticism was directed at goalkeeper Robert Green who was replaced by David James for this match. Now, it appears that the entire squad will come under scrutiny after a poor showing in both games.

Both Argentina and France have won the World Cup but it was a day of stark contrasts. Argentina trounced Korea 4-1 which virtually guarantees them a place in the next round, while France went down 2-0 to Mexico and could be out of this world cup.
France did not look like a team that was united and focused on winning this world cup. The Les Bleues have been under scrutiny by the press from the time they landed in South Africa. After the match, their coach, Raymond Domenech said that “I don't have the words, it's a real disappointment for all of the people and for those who believed in us. We need a miracle now. We have to be strong and at least play for our honour. At least we must show something in the last match.” |

This World Cup finally came to life when the Argentineans played an incredible game of almost fantasy football to thrash the Koreans 4-0. This was easily the most exciting match of the tournament and had fans cheering throughout the game.
It started from the very first minute, when Messi showed off his dribbling skills and got Argentina their first corner. The Korean defense came under a barrage of shots throughout the game as their weak defense was unable to stand up to the Argentinean attack.
The first goal for Argentina was bizarre as it came of Park Chu-young and resulted in an own goal. Striker Gonzalo Higuain scored the second goal for Argentina, towards the end of the first half and it looked like the scored would end with Argentina being 2-0. |
