World Cup Fever

It's that time again! My favourite sporting event would have to be the FIFA World Cup. Coming from a family of football fanatics and having played and followed football for a number of years a month of football is a dream come true. So far this world cup has been full of a number of shocking results and a couple of awesome games.

Firstly Australia- Australia has had a bit of bad luck at the cup which has caused a stir back home. The game against Germany was shocking but realistically we were never going to win. I was tipping Germany to win the World Cup before their game against Serbia but now I'm not too sure. The second game with Ghana was alright, the Kewell red card was unlucky but the ref was just enforcing the rules and it would have been a penalty anyway. The Serbia game will be interesting and I hope we win but I'm not entirely sure if we will. Also I hope Ghana beats Germany for our sake.

New Zealand- Shock of the tournament! I can't believe how well the All Whites are going.. Their performance has been phenomenal, I thought they were going to be the worst team at the tournament however North Korea has taken that title after the game with Portugal. I'd really like to see the Kiwis make the second round just for fun.

Best Game- Argentina vs South Korea. So far this has been my favourite game however the goals scored in the first half were very sloppy. I think Argentina could be one of the top teams in the tournament and could possibly take it out.

The best part about the World Cup is there is still another 2 weeks to go. This has definetly inspired me to go and watch the next World Cup if we qualify/I manage to save the money.

That's about it for now my puppy dog is wanting my attention so I should probably play with her
