Perfect on Saturday. Awful on Sunday.
Though Ecuador might pressure. Thought the Dutch would win. Didn't think we'd see the most outrageous game of the World Cup between two technical sides like the Dutch and Portuguese.
So 2-2.
And before looking on to tomorrow, I want to use this space to publicly defend David Beckham. Marcelo Balboa ripped Beckham again for the duration of an English match. Why? Someone tell me because I don't have a reason. Is he the best midfielder in this tournament? Of course not. We've got Ronaldinho. We've got Ballack. Does he have the best leg in the world? No. We've got Carlos and even Frings, Rosicky. Is he the best player off the free kick going? Without question. Remember, England has won three games in this tournament. Three. Two of which were won 1-0 with both goals coming off a free kick of his and finding themselves in net. The third win saw its first goal come off a brilliant ball from...Beckham. The man is winning games for this team and Balboa and company need to settle the fuck down and recgonize that England is home right now if Beckham didn't do magic.
TOMORROW AND TUESDAY:
ITALY 2
AUSTRALIA 0
(rooting for the Aussies)
UKRAINE 2
SWITZERLAND 1
(this one might drag on but rooting for the Ukraine)
BRAZIL 4
GHANA 1
(i'm hoping Ghana plays well but I love watching Brazil on the pitch)
FRANCE 2
SPAIN 1
(i'm thinking the French are going to surprise some people here. i don't care who wins)
