GREAT GAMES LAST NIGHT!

The Argentines definitely indulged their fans by scoring 6 goals (3 in each half time). Poor Serbia-Montenegro, even Savo Milosevic could not do much to save his country from shame, esp after one of their players got a red card. The goals were all beautiful, but because there were too many of them, I could only remember the last two ones. Messi assisted Crespo to score, and then netted a goal himself. I think the presence of Maradona helped boost their spirits.

The indulgence continued as Cote d’Ivoire gave a good fight to the oranje team. Had they had a little luck, they could’ve equalized. If in the last match of Holland I was quite impressed by Robben, this time van Persie did it. I think he deserved to be the man of the match. I was actually curious about what his actual position was, because he was all over the place. He was great at attacking as well as defending. And he scored one great goal from a free kick outside the penalty box, then passed a good ball to van Nilsterooij who finished it well and hence gave the victory to Holland by 2-1.

Actually, after Argentina won, I was hoping that Holland would lose, so their next duel will be even hotter. Now it doesn’t matter anymore because both are definitely going to the next round. But still, I won’t miss it anyway.

Hi there!
I soooooo wanted Cote d’Ivoire to win! Have you seen Mexico against Angola? I would have bet Angola would win, but 0:0 is also great.

P.S.: Send you a mail to the adresse in your profil, not sure if you got it though.
