Another South American team eliminated out from World Cup. Before the match start, I told my friend Argentina and Germany playing style are different. Argentina mainly in short passing and Germany is good in long pass and air ball.

On the 3rd minute of the match, Germany awarded a free kick. I told my friend Germany is throwing an air boom to Argentina territory. Just a second after I told him, Germany really scored in this position. Argentina start revenges but nearly let Germany score another goal in counter attack.

Germany another 3 goals in second half, 2 are counter attack. Is defensive error or? This game is like the match between Germany and England, England loose to Germany is because of counter attack. I think Germany did played well, they used the right strategy. Argentina is mainly depends on Messi and I think he was well handled by Germany defenders. Every time he got the ball and I can see 3 Germany defender goes after him, so no matter how good he is, he also can’t get through 3 defenders.

That’s the end of Argentina road to World Cup.

First Half, Argentina 0 – 1 Germany
3′ T.Muller

Full Time, Argentina 0 – 3 Germany

This match shown the talent of Holland, slowly showing the Champion looks of World Cup. They are losing a ball behind and came to won the match.

Brazil second half was totally out. They missed many opportunities to level it, but Holland also missed many 1 to 1 chances to score it. Ball possession Holland was better than Brazil. Arjen Roben is the man that you should salute. His mission is to get people foul him. Seriously in yesterday match, most of the Brazil players received yellow cards are because of him. He is the dangerous man for opponent but the key person for the orange team.

Frankly speaking, I also hope Holland win this match because I and my colleague had a deal. We had a lunch deal on whom has the most team went into semi final. So who will be the next favorite team to carry this cup? I know Spain was ranked as number 2 favorites after Brazil and Spain is playing better and better recently, so I think they got brighter chances. So what is your prediction? Spain, Argentina, Germany, Holland or Uruguay?

First Half, Brazil 1 – 0 Holland
10′ Robinho

Full Time, Brazil 1 – 2 Holland
53′ F.Melo (OG)
68′ W.Sneijder

This is the today topic. Now they admitted they are wrong, really can’t believe that they can make such mistakes in biggest event in the world. Almost every World Cup also have such mistake, did FIFA take action to overcome this?

I am really pity and salute the team and players in this incident.

Larrionda failed to recognise that a shot from Frank Lampard had clearly crossed the line in England’s 4-1 defeat at the hands of Germany while Rosetti wrongly awarded a goal to Argentina in their win over Mexico despite the fact that Carlos Tevez was visibly offside.

The two mistakes have led FIFA president Sepp Blatter to apologise to the English and Mexican associations and say it would “be a nonsense to not reopen the file of technology” when the International FA Board meets in July.

However, it will be goal-line technology that is on the agenda and not the more general use of video replays.
The debate over the application of technology will continue for some weeks, but for Larrionda and Rosetti the immediate implications of their mistakes are clear.

Mali’s Koman Coulibaly, who famously disallowed a winning goal for USA against Slovenia, and France’s Stephane Lannoy, who harshly dismissed Kaka when he was the victim of Kader Keita’s playacting against Ivory Coast, have also been sent home.

It is the end of England in World Cup 2010. England started well but their defense is out. Easily let Germany scored the first goal. 12 minutes later Germany scored another goal and England keep pressured Germany. They managed to pull back a goal in 5 minutes later. Before the first half whistle blow, Lampard kicked from far and the ball hit the top bar then went inside the goal post then bounced up and the keeper quickly clear it. It was cleared that the ball went into the goal post but the linesman and referee didn’t saw it and let the game carry on.

If I am the England player, I will run to the referee and talk to him, stop the game to give pressure to him. From this match, I can see that Steven Gerrard is not a good captain as he didn’t protect and protest his team well. He should talk to the referee, request for fair judgment. If you continue play means you admitted that was not a goal.

England played full attack in second half. All the players went out to opponent side and this gave chance to Germany scored another 2 easy goals.

From the whole England World Cup matches, I only saw these players played for their country, what about the rest of the players? The number of squad players was about 23 players but why don’t give them a chance to play? Like Peter Crouch, he is tall and good player. I bet he is better than E.Heskey, I really don’t understand why Capello put E.Heskey and not P.Crouch, only gave him played for 10 minutes.

Bad strategy, bad coach!

First Half, Germany 2 – 1 England
20′ M.Klose
32′ L.Podolski
37′ M.Upson

Full Time, Germany 4 – 1 England
67′ T.Muller
70′ T.Muller

This is another poor match for England. But England did win this match. From the game, I can only see Steven Gerrard is doing what he supposes to do. I think it is a bad day for Rooney, he did hard to chased ball and nearly score a goal for England and for himself.

England first quarter played very poor. Slovenia control the game, but later England pick up the theme and start attacking. Defoe scored the winning goal and this goal gave them the ticket to quarter final.

England is lucky that last minute referee didn’t give penalty to Slovenia, else their dream will be over.

Another disappointed result for England supporter. Frankly speaking, even you had the world class striker, world class midfielder and world class defender, but if they can’t communicate with each other, I rather you split them off.

I think Capello only choose the star players that didn’t look into other potential players. I don’t think Capello is a good manager. He can’t select the right player to play. If continue like that, I can guarantee England won’t qualify to 2nd round.

If you watch the match this match you will agree that the center communication breakdown, the defense are sucks, you can see the defenders are dreaming, simply passing and nearly make mistake. Can you believe John Terry is the person who making such mistake? What is the problem between them?

This match shows that Algeria has better chance than England. Their passings are much accuracy than England. The way they play is simple, not like England so complicated. English man like to play fancy stuff.

If they’re still not performing in next match, that is the end of World Cup road for England.

This is the match I am waited for, England vs USA. I personally support England because of my favorite players there, but I do like USA for no reason. I think USA is a moderate or little bit below top class.

The result of this match was 1-1. Steven Gerrard of England scored in opening 4 minutes but USA has equalized it 5 minutes before half time. Green, England goalkeeper make a mistake on clearing the ball causing them the chance of getting 3 points. Emile Heskey does have few chances as Rooney was man mark by USA defenders.

Both sides have few chances to score but it was either shoot out or cleared by the keeper. 2 people were performing well for USA. They are keeper Tim Howard and defender Cherundolo. Their performances of that night are top class.

From my point of view, I think Capello make a mistake. He chooses Greens as the keeper and Heskey as the forward. For me, I think Peter Crouch will be the better choice. Better choice from physical and age, he is younger and taller.

I can’t believe that England with world class player and world class midfielders also can’t get any advantage from it. I hope both countries can win in their following match as I predicted both of them will qualify to 2nd stage.

First Half, England 1 – 1 USA
4’ Steven Gerrard
40’ Clint Dempsey

Full Time, England 1 – 1 USA

End, everything is over. Both of our world number 1 players (single and double) have lose to China in straight set.

It is really disappointed to Malaysia supporter and audience like me. Chong Wei makes many mistakes during the match. Frankly speaking, Lin Dan is more perform than Chong Wei, he almost make no mistake on both games. It must be pressure that affect Chong Wei performance.

Second match is even worst. I can’t believe they lose to China in straight set. It is really shameful. They played like school boy, no communication between them. That’s my comment, I am not sure what did their coach comment on them.

I also noticed Malaysia players seldom or very difficult to earn a single point when was their turn to served. What causes this happen? This question I think only them can answer.

Hope they don’t give up and find a better way to revenge back in future.
