Eventful day at the World Cup

Czech & Croatia out of the world cup. Boo hoo:( I was really impressed by Croatia. Its a pity that they couldn't get the better of the 'Soccaroos' (Aussies, for the uninformed). So now, we have 2 teams who have qualified for the knockouts for the very first time - the other being Ghana. I am glad that Ghana defeated the US. Now they will realize what 'World Championship' is. Actually, it won't make any difference to most of the ignorant Americans.

Ronaldo at last came good and scored 2 goals in Brazil's 4-1 win over minnows Japan. His world cup goal tally is now 14, equalling that of Gerd Muller of Germany. One more and football fans will remember him for a long time to come. Not too long though since I predict that another German sensation Miroslav Close will overtake his tally in the next world cup, if not this one.

In other news, Iran sacked their football coach. Good thing, they didn't execute him for his 'incompetence'; hee hee.
