Well day 2 has come and gone, and already I am loving the tournament!! First up was Holland Denmark. Now obviously, the Lord Heitinga plays for Holland, so I looking forward to watching him, plus I have backed Holland for overall success at the bookies!!
Well, it's a result we never exepected, and for all the play and shots Holland had, as I sit and write this after the 2nd game of the day, if Holland were still playing now they would still not have scored!!
Van Persie is turning into a bit of an international enigma! For all you older readers, who remembers John Barnes? The lad could certainly play at club level, but could never turn it on for England, and lived his life on one goal scored in Brazil!! Van Persie is turning into that player, good for club, poor for country. In the last World Cup, Holland finally played as a team, but today, it look liked a team of individuals again!! Let's hope they sort it out for their next game!!!
As for the 2nd game, Germany vs Portugal, well at one point, I was going to turn over and watch the paint drying channel!! Nothing was happening, and the only decent thing was a great tackle by Boateng on Ronaldo as he was about to score! It was a typical German performance though, solid and organised, capped off with, to be fair, a great header from Gomez! The game finally kicked into life, and the last 20mins were worth watching, it's a shame, we had to watch the 70mins before that to get to it!! Portugal had their chances, but why wait until Germany score until you start playing?!
Well, tomorrow brings Spain and Italy, and the Irish will be taking on Jelavic and his mates from Croatia! Sandwiched in between that is a 5 a side game!!
See you tomorrow
