Germany VS Costa Rica
The opening match of the World Cup 2006, kicked off by the host Germany, against the central America team Costa Rica.
Final score, 4-2.
In actual fact, it was a very crappy game. Commentator was trying very hard to convince viewers that it's a very exciting game, but it was downright poor in my opinion. The team would have lost badly if they were playing against better teams, though credit must be given to costa rica for their attitude to work hard and attack instead of keeping 10 man behind the ball.
First goal came from Lahm, who cut in from the left flank, 1 touch, 2 touch, wham. The ball flew into the corner and in off the post. A good goal to start off the world cup.
First goal from Costa Rica was from the pokemon wanchope. However it was due to Germany showing their complacency. The back 4 shut off immediately, and Wanchope easily slid it pass the helpless Lehmann.
2nd goal by Germany, good work by sneijder down the right flank, getting pass his marker with relatively ease and cutting back for some German outside the box, showed good control and took the ball in, a pass to the unmarked Klose to finish.
3rd goal by Germany, down the left flank, and for some reason he was left unmarked, costa rica players were looking and waiting for him to cross. He sends the ball in, headed on by a costa rica player, falls onto Klose, heads the ball, saved by keeper, and scores on his 2nd attempt. Another case of poor defending, player marking Klose was watching at the ball and jumping for it even though he was miles away from it.
2nd goal by Costa rica, another stupid mistake by the back 4. Costa rica attacked through the centre, loses the german defensive midfielder by doing a stationary 1 2(-_-), then wanchope strayed behind the 2 centre backs, and thanks to the full backs playing him on, he received the ball and slots it pass the helpless lehmann AGAIN.
4th goal by Germany, a simple short pass to Fring, who rifles the shot from 35 yard into the top right corner of the goal. Credit to the german, but you will not get this kind of chance against other top teams, 1 of the shutting offs by the players during the match.
In conclusion, this was a match whereby both were equally lousy defensively, but as Germany have players that can make a difference, they won the match. Despite the brace by the pokemon Wanchope, his mighty strength was not enough to save his team, time to evolve i guess.
What a start to the world cup, i would have been better off sleeping.
