FIFA World Cup: Day Five, the continuation of sadness and boredom Bashny.Net

Yesterday we played three matches and, frankly, is not happy with any championship game or the result.





His first match played by teams of Slovakia and New Zealand.






Here, however, initially no one expected crazy speeds and beautiful football, the players fully met expectations. The first half was riding in a ball and chaotic attempts to attack. Although the composition of the Slovaks was clearly stronger, high-quality football was quite small.







But in the second half, the game livened up a little, and already on the 50th minute, after a cross from the right wing Stanislav Shestakov, Robert Vittek (Robert Vittek) head opened the scoring. The defenders were trying to signal to the referee on the side offside, but the chief arbiter proved adamant.









1: 0 and the New Zealanders was still almost a half to win. Slovaks also immediately began to play for time and keep the result. For which he paid. In the last seconds of the match defender Winston Reid (Winston Reid) as head equalized after a cross Shane Smelttsa. It is noteworthy that Reed and missed Vitteka when he scored New Zealand.









The second game was more promising, because the game is the team that always preferred attacking football - Ivory Coast and Portugal.





Both teams have their games and writing compositions can not be called weak, but in the end, it was another dreary game length of 90 minutes. According to most football critics, the problem is in the coaches, as neither Ericsson nor Queiroz are not "pets of fortune", and tactical schemes of team play hard to see. Perhaps because they simply do not.

For the first time remembered only the classic powerful shot Cristiano Ronaldo were (Cristiano Ronaldo), who came into the bar. As for the rest, on the ugliness prevailed: tight protection and stupidity in the attack.









The second half was the same way. There was a lot of struggle and hard martial arts. Out Didier Drogba (Didier Drogba) and not added a modicum of creativity Ivorians, although in the second half controlled the ball more precisely Africans. In the end goalless draw 0: 0.
