Hello again and here comes another World Cup related post. My blog is starting to resemble a World Cup only blog, but who can blame me as its the World Cup for crying out loud!!! The first match of Group C has finished with Argentina beating the Ivory Coast 2 goals to 1. It was a thrilling match with loads of tackles, fake injuries!, controversial decisions, saves and nerve shaking moments. I thoroughly enjoyed it, and I am sure that everybody else who watched it did, because it was such an explosive match. The Argentinean players were lightning quick, determined to win and highly skilled as were the Ivory Coast players. With Argentina being heavily favored to win, they eventually did but it was anything but easy. Ivory Coast had some great shots on goal but only 1 produced a result. Their defense was also really tight and that gave some top Argentinean strikers some headaches. The Ivory Coast kept the heat on despite a 2 goal deficit and that persistence paid off with a fabulous goal towards the end of the match that seemed to ignite the stadium (and everyone else in my room!) . It really was a really entertaining match and even Diego Maradona was having a good time! Wow I can’t believe that I managed to watch all 3 matches today but I sure as heck don’t regret it!! There was some fantastic football played today, some surprising upsets, and tons of quality passes and shots. Great stuff. Unfortunately I am going to have to study for my finals tomorrow and after tomorrow so I am going to have to miss some matches. Oh well!!
