World Cup football is getting interesting.
In today's games Greece beat Nigeria 2-1 and Argentina beat Korea South 4-1. That means Argentina are almost through to Super 16. And Korea South has now got an opening to beat Nigeria in the third game and expect Argentina beat Greece.
Permutations and combinations.
Who said they always happen in cricket.
Tomorrow England would play crucial game to their world cup ambitions. They are always an overhyped team in finals. They never played a semi-final since 1990 and their star players -- David Beckham, Wayne Rooney and Michael Owen play good for clubs and underperform for England. Something similar to IPL.
France play Mexico later tonight to keep alive their hopes in the finals. They have been poor starters. They failed to score a goal in 2002 finals and crashed out in first round as defending champs. In 2006 they drew first 2 games and then had to beat poor Togo to go through the second round.
By the way cricket is far better game than football. Imagine teams slugging out 1 whole day and ending up draw. Cricket has ties and they are far more thrilling and interesting than draws of football. Imagine the thrill of Sehwag, Tendulkar in full flow as compared to occasional brilliance of Kaka, Mama, Chacha, Fufa, Messi, Lampard, Klose, Ballack and Rooney.
Kevin Pieterson would be far better than the Rooneys and even Strauss is a better leader than Rio Ferdinand or Terry. Strauss has got Ashes, Rio has got nothing.
Ok enough of it.
