Day 5. He's no Maradona....he's not even a Messi.

Day 5. What happened today in Brazil. Of course the time had to come when we got a 0-0 draw and it was quite inevitable that it would be between the always over-rated, don't quite know how to play in a world cup Nigeria, and the brave Team Melli warriors Iran, who always enjoy their underdog, us against the world, status, where not losing is a victory and scoring a goal is an after-thought (they had one attempt on goal). Germany tore Portugal apart (4-0) where the One Who Thinks, sorry Knows, (almighty CR7 please forgive me) He Is Great's show was overshadowed by 11 Germans who put on a show which one Portuguese player (Great as he is) and 10 (then 9) other blokes wearing the same shirts couldn't quite match. And finally some USA! USA! USA! drama and excitement. They were all out for revenge against Ghana for beating them before (the rest of the world didn't really care about this grudge match). And good old young John Brooks scored the late winner. Favourite moment. Jones and Muntari got into a scrap after a nasty tackle, a possibly accidental boot to the head and a hands to the face reaction. And what did they do? Knowing they could both be sent off, they went over the top in their apologies and just abut professed their love for each other. How could the referee be so mean and send these 2 great guys off? Not even a yellow card. Anyway, here's some American, stick it the Ghanians, celebration from Samantha's Collection. Huh? Whoever this Samantha is (it was the only link I could find) she needs a happier, John Brooks I've-just-scored-a-goal picture. Mind you, he looked more bemused and overcome than happy. I could go on and on...U.S.A!!!!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mJFuTvel47Y
