That was the justice of the match. Germany was not at all in the match today. All movements were made and lead by Spaniards only.

Spain scored the solitary goal of the match by Karlos Puyol’s bullet header to a corner kick and entered the finals of FIFA World Cup Football 2010. Spain is entering the finals of the world cup football for first time. They will meet Nederland in the final on July 11th.

Before starting the match between Brazil and North Korea one of my neighbour told about a prediction contest he entered. In a leading news daily there was a question about how many goals will be the margin of Brazil’s win. He predicted 6-0 !

FIFA World Cup 2010 - South Korea V/s Greece

After a inaugural draw day today the football fans were eagerly looking for some exciting moments from the synthetic meadows of South Africa. The first encounter of the day was between the 2004 Euro Champions Greece and 2002 FIFA World Cup semifinalists South Korea. Greece has to prove their quality as former Euro champions. Also they have to wash the black mark that not scored a single goal in World Cups yet. Greece being an European country and Korean squad being possessing six players playing in European clubs the spectators naturally expected a competitive match between them. But the match was a single sided one in my opinion. At most time all of us felt how this Greece successfully qualified from Euro region which has enough number of best teams.

Mexican Waves V/s Vuvusela Sound


The FIFA World Cup 2010 started in Soccer City of Johannesburg , the capital town of South Africa. In the inaugural match the host  South Africa had to face Mexico. It seemed the Mexican waves will be drowned in Vuvusela’s sound. But the equalizer by Raphael Marques at 78th minute  of the play helped Mexico to share the points of inaugural match.
In the whole play Mexico possessed the ball more time. As a result the host has to make unlawful methods to defend the guest players. Hence within a short life of the play itself referee has to take the first yellow card. It was Kagiso who marked first.
The attack of Mexican waves to South African goal post was severe in first half of the play. In 23rd minute of play South Africa escaped narrowly from a goal as the Mexican Striker did it well , but the hands of goalkeeper was there. Again in 37th minute of the play the South African net trembled. But the goal didn’t allowed. It was an offside. But there was a South African player in the post at the time. The first half ended without any further developments.
The second half started with the advance of South Africa, It seemed the Brazilian coach Carlos Alberto Pereira had given some quick tricks to the ears of the squad. It  was fruitful also. When the second half was at about 10 minutes the South African  striker Tshebalala scored the first goal of the first World Cup in the Dark Continent. Whole the stadium broke up and the sound of Vuvusela was in its high pitch.
The goal made Mexico to strengthen their attack. For this in 68th minute of game they made first substitution. Carlos Vela was substituted by the veteran star Cothmot Blanco. To sharpen the attacks further Mexico made second substitution also at 72nd minute of the game. Now G.Franco was substituted by Yavier Hernandez. This substitution proved the value when Raphael Marques scored the first goal of his team at 78th minute of the game.
The equalizing goal created irritation in the minds of South Africans. As per history of world cups the host were the winners of inaugural match and to keep the history South Africa has to take lead. So they also made a substitution at 83rd minute. Steven Peinar was  replaced by Bernard Parker. At the same minute Yavier Hernandez lost a golden opportunity to score.
Both the teams played for a win in this match and hence the last minutes of the game was anxious. The ball rolled all over the ground covering both sides. At 88th minute Blanco’s header lost aim narrowly. In very next minute M.Pehela of South Africa seemed to score a goal. But the ball hit on the post and went out. At injury time also both the teams tried their best for a goal. But it was the faith to be a draw. Thus the inaugural match ended in a draw (1-1)
