Match # 11

Italy – Paraguay: 1-1 This is the first game that I didn’t watch in the World Cup, I just had to enjoy the sunshine outside instead. Andy and I took the boat out and enjoyed the evening in the sun and had a watery pick-nick. I did however keep tabs on the game, just to make sure I didn’t miss anything. The game as I understand wasn’t anything special, much like the rest of the …

Match # 10

Japan – Cameroon: 1-0 A game that really didn’t seem to be going the right way. Everyone thought Cameroon were going to win, they are after all a fairly good team. Descendants of Roger Milla (the first football player to celebrate a goal by making a goal gesture) and all… Japan took the lead after 39 minutes by Honda, and then they kept the lead. Cameroon tried and tried but alas it didn’t do much good… ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  Karoleen …

Match # 9

The Netherlands – Denmark: 2-0 The game was somewhat of a drag with a great Dutch team, with a way of playing that makes you smile. Denmark as close to Sweden as we can come in this World Cup.

Most of the match was played by The …

Behind the cashier is a pair of shoes which you have seen and which you must have…. The …

Match # 8

Germany – Australia: 4-0 I love watching Germany play football, they have a way that just wants to make you join them. It’s not Brazil’s Samba football, it’s German stiffness and push that is always successful. Unfortunetly Ballack was injured and Matteus and Klinsman are old farts – so the team is young, the World Cups youngest – but they showed that the German spirit lives on. Australia isn’t a football nation, more of a …

Match # 7

Serbia – Ghana: 0-1 An extremely boring game, sure quite a few goal opportunities but not much to make a footballer excited. A correct decision for a penalty kick for Ghana produced the only goal, scored by Gyan. That’s pretty much all I’m going to say about the game – not too exciting… Pre-match comments from Nick Leeson. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  Karoleen – Fotograf © Copyright – All rights reserved.
