2nd Post For Round 2 Of World Cup

Now Is The 2nd Half Of The 2nd Round

Italy 1 - 0 Australia

Switzerland 0 - 0 Ukraine ( Ukraine Win 3 - 0 Penalties )

Brazil 3 - 0 Ghana

Spain 1 - 3 France

Italy Vs Australia. Italy Was Bad. They Can't Perform For The World's Biggest Stage In The World. I Seriously Cannot Understand What Italy's Coach Is Thinking. He Preferred Alessandro Del Piero To Francesco Totti As The Playmaker Of The Team. The Striking Pair Of Luca Toni And Alberto Gilardino Was Good But Not Good Enough. Italy Was Unable To Score And Strike. Del Piero Wasn't Producing Any Superb Balls, Perrotta, Pirlo And Gattuso Was Unable To Conquer The Midfield. The Only People Performing Are Captain Fabio Cannavaro And Goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon.

Australia Really Put Up A Good Fight Against The Italians. The Aussies Were Very Hardworking And Went For All The Challanges To Win The Ball. But There Wasn't Really Any Striking Oppoturnities As The Magnificient Fabio Cannavaro Is Doing Everything He Could To Stop Everyone From Scoring. But In The End, Italy Got A Smile From Lady Luck. They Got A Penalty Which Is Definitely Not A Penalty. Francesco Totti Went Up To Take The Spotkick And After That, The Italians Won. Francesco Totti Has Again Become The Darling To Italy.

Switzerland Vs Ukraine. I Didn't Watch The Match So I'm Unable To Say Much About The Match. I'll Just Type Out What I Know From Reading The Newspaper. The Match Was Boring, The Papers Said It, My Frenz Said It. It Was A Long Long 120mins Of Soccer. Everybody Is Tired. During The Spotkick, Everybody Is Just Trying Their Luck. Ukraine Had The Last Laugh Even Though Captain Andriy Shevchenko Missed The Penalty. The Italians Against The Ukraines. Can Italy Go Through To The Semi-Finals Or 1st Timers Ukraine?

Brazil Vs Ghana. Without The Suspended Michael Essien, Ghana Is Certainly Missing The Engine Room Of The Team. He Is Sorely Being Missed By Their Captain Stephen Appiah. They Were Hardworking, But Hardworking Is Still Not Enough Against The World Champions Brazil. Brazil's Great Passing And Attacking Flair Has Broken Down Ghana's Defence Time And Time Again. Ronaldo Did A Great Timing Run And A Superb Fake Against The Goalkeeper Which Scored His 15th Goal For World Cup Which Broke The Record For World Cup Scorers.

Adriano Scored A Controversial Goal Which Looks Offside But The Goal Was Awarded. Brazil Was Taking It Easy Against Ghana Which Everyone Can See That There Was Not Eough Aggression In The Brazil Team And Patient Passing Of The Ball Gave Them Alot Of Chances Which In The End Lead To Ze Roberto's Goal Which He Chipped Over The Goalkeeper And Scored The 3rd Goal. Kaka Was Very Disappointing During This Match Which Eventually Lead To His Substitution For Juninho. The Brazilians Haven't Went Up To Gear5 And They Defeated Ghana. Potential World Cup Final Team.

Spain Vs France. Spain Is One Of The Teams Tipped To Get Into The Finals This Time Around. They Have Splendid Flair And Players In Them. They Have Turned To Youth Instead Of Experience For Their Teams. Young Players Like Joaquin, Xabi Alonso, Sergio Ramos, David Villa, Fernando Torres And Cesc Fabregas Were Injected Into The Team To Bring More Attacking Flair Into Spain. The Striking Pair Of Fernando Torres And David Villa Was Just Too Good. They Were One Of The Best Striking Pair Around.

France Stick With Their 4-5-1 Formation Which Leave Henry Up Front Alone. France Was Disappointing Throughout The Tournament And Everybody Thought They Were Getting Ready To Pack Their Bags And Go Home After This Match. But It's Unbelivable ! Frank Ribery, Patrick Vieira And Zinedine Zidane Saved France From Blushes As They Won 3 - 1. Frank Ribery Cancelled Out David Villa's Penalty. With France Now Going Up To The Quarter-Finals Against Brazil. I Seriously Doubt They Will Go Past Against The Mighty Brazilians.
