After 4 years of waiting, its finally here. Its the World Cup 2006 in Germany. And after 1 week of matches, i do say that its not as exciting as one would like to be (except for certain matches). The dramas, the heartbreaking losses, triumphant roars of wins, agony of a miss oppurtunity, the celebration of a wonderful scored goal. Its all in there.
with plenty of debutants in this world cup (mainly african teams), there are a good mix of footballing giants and minnows. The most impressive team (my 2 cents worth) of the debutants, would definately be Ivory Coast. Although they lost 2 - 0 to Argentina (which i didn't think played well at all to win), they were the better team, but argentina took their chances well to score 2 goals on their counter attack. Even teams like Italy, England and Brazil played dissappointingly.
Well, now starts the 2nd week. A clearer picture of which are the inform teams would be known. First games are usually affected by jitters of playing for the first match in World Cup. Hopefully the standard of play improves from now on.
p.s. Spain i think was lucky to win 4 - 0. Ukraine is definately a better team than that.
