Day 3 - Lucky and Good
The so-called “Group of Death” was dead boring until the Netherlands started counterattacking like Bruce Lee. The second and third goals were some of the best team soccer I’ve seen in a long time.
Confused
Stuff I’m totally confused about:
- Baby blue socks?
- Italy’s midfield.
- The non-call on the first goal.
- Why doesn’t Wesley Sneijder have a van in his name? He’s clearly good enough for it.
- How did Van der Sar get to that?
- Giovanni Van Bronckhorst is 33? He’s the bizzaro Frankie Hejduk.
- How did Luca Toni miss that?
The Day Romulus and Remus Wept
It is gonna take some serious Risorgimento to get the Azzurri back on track. They looked completely defeated and fractured at the end of that game. But to be fair, it is tough to beat a team that is both lucky and good.
Best Game
Romania – France.
Just kidding!
The Netherlands just kept pressing and flowing. Thankfully there isn’t a word for bunker down in Dutch soccer. Viva La Resistance!
Best Face Paint
I dunno. Needs more color, if you ask me.
