World Cup 2006 Germany

The first match of the 2006 Germany World Cup has just ended. It was a goals galore. The final results favouring Germany, the host nation 4-2. Defeating Costa Rica by that result may look impressive. The truth is, Germany played badly at the back. It seems almost everytime the Costa Rican players especially Paulo Wanchop gets a chance at goal, he breaks through the defence with ease. Blunders from the defence left Jens Lehman with no choice but to let in 2 goals. Hold on a minute. Earlier yesterday, Lehman commented on England saying they don't posses the knowhow to win the most revered cup. Well, tonite he ate his own foot. Lehman is also one of the few lemons in the team.

Their blunders which also shows their weakness will be carefully taken advantaged off by bigger teams later in the knockout stages, if they can qualify. Poland will face them next and this would an exciting test to see if they really have a big and worrying problem. Attacking wise, Germany poses one of the most complete and fluid team. The shocking inclusion of Odonker into the team proved to be useful since he has the speed. He has a personal best of 10.90sec for the century sprint. Constantly putting to shame Malaysia's sprinters. Lahm did well with his overlapping runs as a fullback down the left bank. Excellent players. Frings' goal was magnificent. It was a thunderous blast from outside the box barely missing the finger tips of Porras.

There you go. The short commentary of the match. Tomorrow's match at 9pm is worth watching even it is exam period. It will be England vs Paraguay. Fingers crossed, England to trash Paraguay 4-1. Owen 1, Crouch "the Crane" 1, J. Cole 1, Beckham 1 and for Paraguay anyone, doesn't matter.
