Day 4. Messi scored! Messi scored!

Day 4. What happened today in Brazil. The 6th best team in the world, Switzerland of course(!), scored with (and this is not a cliche) practically the last kick of the game to beat Ecuador 2-1. This was right after Ecuador had a chance to score the winner but the Ecuadorian dude took a second to imagine what the picture of him scoring would look like in tomorrow's papers and in that second he lost the ball and...boom..Switzerland went and scored at the other end. France looked like they were going to do a Senegal again (2002, google it), but after hitting the crossbar twice, won 3-0. Honduras kind of helped by having a player sent off, gave a way a penalty and best of all the goalkeeper managed to prove goal line technology works. He couldn't believe his luck when Benzema's shot hit the post and ran along the line back into his grateful arms...oops, he just did enough to palm it over the line, unseen by the naked eye but not by technology. And at the end of the day, the One We Want To Be The Great One, Lionel Messi, scored a Lionel Messi type of goal as Argentina beat Bosnia 2-1. Messi isn't quite Maradona or Pele yet, but let's see what happens this month.
