After four years since the last World Cup this one begins with quite a cracking game between South Africa and Mexico with both of them sharing the points in a 1-1 draw, it was a pretty good starting match though I suspect they’ll be better opening matches later on and France was definitely not one of them with their 0-0 draw against Uruguay.
France was absolute crap in that match, no denying that they have good players but Ribery and Anelka lost possession so many times trying to take on too much and dribble rather than go for for the easier option. The line-up was a bit weird and the 4-5-1 formation clearly did not work, so why the manager persisted with the tactics for so long was a mystery (though we’re talking about a manager that uses astrology to choose his players, sooo…) and should have changed it about or made a substitution to switch the play up a bit. I hope France do better next match but it doesn’t help when there’s so much conflict within the camp.
Tonight Argentina play Nigeria and after that England play USA so there’s two games to look forward to, just hope it doesn’t turn out to be an anticlimactic affair.
