Big game from today… World Cup in Africa

             The world cup in South Africa got  underway with a longest time opening. Although it is so long, vibrant, and fully with african style, you may feel a little bit tedious. My favourite Germany first show is on the tomorrow and England is also a good player to match. Today we have a good begin but a tasteless result. Fulltime Uruguay 0-0 France, and I think that everything is even in Group A with all four teams on 1 point.That`s not a joke!   How`s the France team`s show?  So they are in a vicious cycle which has last 12 years that always got a 0 on the first show…… they must break this vicious circle but obviously Ribery is a good midfielder but not the right leader.   

Can the US has any chance to win the group ?   After 60 years England would meet the US again today`s afternoon.

 Good luck ! America  

Be careful,   England.  

England comes into the tournament as a legitimate contender, a team of experience, strength and potential. The U.S. is considered as  a decided underdog, butactually I think that there are much much more pressure is  on England instead of the US. We can imagine that if the US   lose, it was to be expected. If the English lose, the consequences are incalculable and how can  Mr Capello eat his words happily

Capello can afford to be calm; at every position he has starters who are seasoned professionals, some of them world-class. Every one of his 23 players performs weekly in the English Premier League. And they also have one of the famouest  cheerlader , Mr Beckham…. He knows his US football friends well . Obviously  American can’t compare, at least not man-for-man. But as a team, and on the right day, who knows?

England can attack with speed and power, through  Rooney. However, Mr Rooney is also a huge inner risk in this great team. Not for his ball skill, but for his famous bad temper. Can the US learn how to let this young Brit angry? If they can , they would have a chance to win , or at least keep their  goal area safe . Besides Rooney,It can also attack in the air, through Peter Crouch and John Terry. from distance, through Steven Gerrard and Frank Lampard , or just down the wings, through Ashley Cole and Glen Johnson.

It could  be a long night for the U.S. defense and especially for goalkeeper Tim Howard , but if Rooney get a card , they would feel much much better.

There is another problem , which is the Germany.    Germany is probly the 1st in D group, which would face the 2nd in C group. This means England should keep their 3 wins to avoid meet Germany too early. Haha…….      is that right???
