And France lost to Mexico 2-0 !!
England drew with Aleria - 0 - 0

21st June 2010 .Great win for Portugal. It was similar to a very old historic match between Portugal and North korea. The sum of the scores of the old historic match between N.Korea and Portugal is equal to the number of goals scored by Portugal !!

Portugal defeated N.korea 7-0
Raul Meireles at 29th Minute, Simao at 53rd minute, Almeida at 56th minute, Tiago at 60th minute, Liedson at 81st minute, Ronaldo at 87th minute and Tiago at 89th minute.

21st June 2010 Spain Vs Honduras.
Spain had an awesome passing game. I think Spain has chances of winning the World Cup.
22nd June 2010 - South Africa have defeated France 2 - 0 and I guess France are now out of the World cup.
22nd June 2010 - Uruguay defeated Mexico 1 - 0
Wimbeldon has also started and 21st June was the official start of summer in the UK :-)

23rd June 2010 , England could have scored a lot more against Slovenia. But I am glad that they defeated them 1 - 0.
USA defeated Algeria 1 - 0. There were "ohh"s and "ahh"s heqard on our floor as everybody was watching the match on their desktops.

England are now in the top 16.
I think Argentina or Brazil or Spain will win the worldcup.

Brazil had a tough fight with Portugal and ended up up scores nil all
Côte d’Ivoire or Ivory coast defeated North korea 3 nil.
In this world cup none of the players seem to be playing exceptionally well. There seem to be less famous names and even the ones which are famous like Christiano Ronaldo and Rooney are not playing very well. May be new famous names will be discovered / invented after this worldcup. I wish India played the football worldcup once. I remember once them beating Iran or Iraq 1 nil during the asian qualifiers for the worldcup. But that was long back and they didn’t qualify for the worldcup then.

25th June 2010, Oh my god the goal keeper of Chili came out quite a distance from the goal to defend and Spain took advantage of this and David Villa number 7 ( seven ) from Spain hit a long shoot inside the goal of Chili…lol. Players of Chilli were wearing red jersys and blue shorts, blue and whitesocks and yellow shoes. The players of Spain were wearing dark blue Jersys, white shorts, white socks and white and orange shoes. At around 20:04 an opportunity was missed by a Chilli player to level the scores. I think it was Vidal. Estrada from Chilli was dismissed after a while.Torres denied a penalty near Chilli goal at around 20:06 Iniesta scores at 20:07. I think Torres was not tripped but he fell on his own and the guy from Chilli got a red card for no reasons. Xabi Alonso was tripped down at around 20:16. He left the ground just before the half time. Millar from Chilli scores at 47th minute at 20:37. The score is noe 2 - 1 to Spain. He shoots the ball which is deflected by a spain player and the balls goes in the goal. David Villa takes a shot at the 52nd minute but the Chilli goal keeper saves it. At around 20:52 Spain get many chances to score. Convert none though. Fabian comes in for Chilli. Xavier in Xabi out for Spain at 21:01 which is after 73 minutes of the match. Spain is wasting a lot of time since 85th minute. And at 85th Minute Fabregas misses a good opportunity of scoring.

There were so many yellow cards in the Span Vs Chilli game.

England was defeated by Germany in a similar manner in which Germany was defeated by England in 1966 world cup when England won the world cup I guess. Germany took the lead when Klose scored at 20th minute putting Germany ahead by 1-0. England's goal keeper David james is pretty old in age compared to the goal keepers of the rest of the countries. Hence his reflexes were not very good and he was not very quick too. Since England were trying to attack a lot, the Germans counter attacked very well. There were very few England defenders when Germany counter attacked. Lukas Podolski scored the next goal for Germany at 32nd minute. England were too far behind Germany in a very short span but England players fought back as a result of which Matt Upson immediately scored for England at the 37th minute and Lampard's long range shoot took the ball in the nets but the refree did not see this and hence didt give the goal. England had almost levelled the match 2 - 2 . Just because of a very very poor decision by the refrees, the morale of England must have gone down to ZERO. After this England tried their best to attack and got some changes to score too but the German goal keeper was too quick for them. Gerrard almost scored one but again the Goal keeper denied it. Every time England attacked, the Germans either defended well or were lucky to get away with it and counter attacked very well . Thomas Mueller finished England's chances of coming back into the game after he scored 2 quick goals at the 67th and 70th minute.

Its funny that millions of people saw the goal that England were denied and there was this 1 man who didn’t. There is so much money and sentiments involved in this game and such poor decisions ruin the game and results totally. It is time FIFA should introduce 3rd refree's who can see the replays of what happened. To make correct decisions like whether a player was actually tripped or was it a offside or was it a goal etc.

The game of cricket has introduced this long long back. All the Umpire does is draws an imaginary square in the air which tells the third umpire to make the final decision. The 3rd umpire has many screens in front of him. Each screen captures the moment via different cameras with different angles and positions and it makes it very easy for the 3rd umpire to make a correct decision. There have hardly been any unfair or incorrect decisions after the introduction of the 3rd umpire. Cricket also makes use of snickometer where we get to know graphically if the ball actually snicked the bat before the wicketkeeper caught it.

What is the point of having all the advanced technology when the final decisions are so incorrect ?
