The world cup so far


It's three days into the world cup. It's in Russia so a lot of games are in the morning.

Anyway,


World cup events???

Yes or no




RUSSIA VS SAUDI ARABIA
Russia blew out Saudi Arabia in the opening match 5 to nothing. At the half it was two to nothing. Towards the end Russia just kept on bullying Saudi Arabia, making it hard for them to pressure.

EGYPT VS URUGUAY
This was one I didn't watch, but I did watch the highlights. Saurez choked on an almost wide-open goal. If you don't know who Luiz Saurez is, he's the guy that bit someone's shoulder during the Uruguay vs Italy match four years ago. But Uruguay clutched out at the end scoring a goal at the 89 minute mark.

IRAN VS MOROCCO
Another one I didn't watch, but I did watch the highlights. During a corner kick, a Moroccan scored on his own goal xD

PORTUGAL VS SPAIN
This was a crazy match. Ronaldo got a hat trick. Ronaldo got a penalty kick two minutes into the game and nailed it. Later, this guy on Spain just took an Iso, and before you know it five people were guarding him. That doesn't matter cuz he juked the defenders out and scored a pretty hard goal. Then a mess of differnet players were fighting for the ball before it ended up in Ronaldo's feet, and kicked it just behind the goal box and BANG. Jk that wasn't much of a 'bang' the goalie got a piece of it. And that goal was less than a minute before half time. Then in a free kick, he somehow passed it to a header. The guy who made hte header made it pretty on-point because it was right in front of the goal and was pretty easy for that other guy to score. Score is 2-2 now. Then during a corner kick a Spanish person almost got off a kick but it was knocked away...before some guy named Nacho found it and scored. But seriously whose name is "nacho." It must've been pretty awkward when the picture guy took his picture and was like "hey nacho, say cheeeeeeeeeese." Anyway, 87 minutes into the game it looked like Portugal had no chance. Then Ronaldo gets fouled and......BANG. THERE GOES THE FREE KICK. BANG
I mean, look at this angle. If that guy tilted his head just a second earlier, it wouldn't have went in.

FRANCE VS AUSTRALIA
Didn't watch it. No one scored in the first half. Then someone slide tackles the ball in the goal box and it's called a penalty. The French player nails it. Then during a free kick, he passed it to someone who was fouled....INSIDE THE BOX. Penalty kick for Australia. Then eighty minutes into the game someone kicked it and it bounced off the top goal bar and using "goal line technology" it counted.

ARGENTINA VS ICELAND
This was just a sad game for Messi. The highlights video was #1 on trending, as of 6/16.

I didn't watch the game.

Messi had so many good opportunities but I'd say the Iceland goalie was pretty good.
The first "fade away" goal I saw happened for Argentina 19 minutes into the game. Then 22 minutes into the game Iceland went for many shots but the goalie jabbed it away. Eventually Iceland scored. If only the Argentina goalie knew to actually grab the ball instead of jabbing it away, creating another opportunity to score. Then 63 minutes into the game Messi MISSED a penalty kick. Awwww

That blows his confidence


PERU VS DENMARK
Didn't watch the game. Peru got a penalty kick 45 minutes in the game, and absolutely CHOKED on it. Geez

Then 58 minutes into the game Denmark got a good chance. And made it. Questionably an offside.

Peru got so many good chances to get a goal.

  2. Hi Wilson,
    This is a really nice article. It summed up the world cup for me quite well. But, I would recommend adding the 90 in 90 game highlight videos for a nice visual. You can search them up on YouTube (By FOX Soccer).

    Thanks!
