World cup upsets

So, the world cup started nearly two weeks ago and none of us have blogged about it, so I'm taking matters into my own hands and write a shitty report. I apologise in advance for spellin mistakes, this is as in writing this on my iPod and really cannot be bothered to scroll through it after so, here goes, enjoy!

First major upset in this years world cup has got to be, France! Getting knocked out in the group stages of the competition. It wasn't helped with the whole build up of events; after two poor performances the French team went on strike, refusing to train, causing Patrice Evra to have a huge bust up with one of the coaches. Then Domenech decided to send Anelka home, because he called Domenech "son of a whore" shortly followed by Anelka telling him to fuck off. Finally the 2-1 loss to South Africa was the final blow to France's dreadful yet short world cup. This loss meant France were already out of the world cup, Domenech refuse to shake hands with the South Africa manager, most probably thanks to the red card.

Another upset of this tournament has to be Spain's 1-0 loss to Switzerland! Spain were a team every one thought would win this years world cup. This upset made people think differently. The Spanish people blamed keeper, Casillas' girlfriend who is a Spanish television reporter. She was blamed due to the fact she was stood behind the Spanish goal durng the loss and Casillas claimed she put him off. Fair point, she's hot! Spain's second game against Honduras put their title hopes back on track with a comfortable 2-0 win.

A third upset has to be Germany's 1-0 loss to Serbia. This looked to dent Germanys title campaign after an excellent 4-0 win against Australia in the first game. Yet the loss didn't affect the Germans who went on to beat Ghana 1-0 in their final group game which sees that Germany are now through to the final 16.

A fourth upset of the world cup will be the former champions crashing out in the group stages. Italy lost 3-2 to Slovakia in their final group game. This was a yhrillig match, Italy came close to drawing with Slovakia which would have put them through to the knock out stages. After two draws and a loss Italy had no chance of qualifying so they join France as one of the big teams that haven't qualified.

I think, the final upset has to be England's poor start to the tournament. A 1-1 draw with the USA in the first game which also saw Rob Green's dreadful mistake which gifted USA Their goal. This also saw Green dropped from the abysmal 0-0 draw with Algeria. With the while country criticising the team there was a huge amount of pressure leading to the Slovenia match. This saw England peform a lot better with a 1-0 win but in fairness the score couldve been higher if it wasn't thanks to the brilliant form the Slovenia goal keeper was in. Capellos choice to put Defoe in the starting eleven proved a good one after the beautiful ball in from James Milner was met by Defoe who calmly slotted the ball in which the keeper dint have much chance to save as it came at him so quickly. This win saw Englad through to the final 16 on second place and also means we must then play Germany. This will be a hard game that will need the whole squads 100% effort!

That's probably all the upsets of this world cup! It really has been extremely exciting and i can only hope there's more to come. I can't e bothered to write any more, so I'm out.
