Tunisia vs Ukraine, I mentioned before that Tunisia play exactly Iranian style, of course a little bit better with more skilful players, this made me to cheer for them. In this game the ref was in a mission to harm the African team where they needed a victory the most. Although the whole game was a bit boring, Tunisia was the better team in every department except fairness of the ref. The ref single handed refused a penalty for Tunisia , showing a red card in the first half and given a penalty to Ukraine all injustice. What else a ref can do? Thank you referee, your mission accomplished, you ruined the game, ended your career and probably given a hard evidence to criticize FIFA to think harder about game officiating system. I didn’t see the other game between Spain and S. Arabia, but I heard the Spanish team came to the field with 11 new faces, completely brand new and still was able to pull a victory. Good for them. I like them.

Game of the day was between France vs Togo, where French team needed a 2-0 victory to qualify for the next round. They did it with cost of 1111 heart attack in France I guess. As much as I love the playing style of Henry, I don’t know why he can’t click in national level, however you could have seen some scenes showing he is different than the others, briefing it, he is as smart and skillful as Ronaldiniho, as deadly finisher as Ronaldo and still better than both of them in air and team defending duties. Anyway, they did it in a hard way and scored in last 30 minutes of the game. The other game between Switzerland and S. Korea ended also 2-0 to close down the file of all Asian teams and prove again that we are the weakest continent with no representative in the second round. Watch Spain vs France, maybe the best game in second round.

Enjoy the football festival.

Cheers,
