Czech Republic on a roll

Czech Republic have just decimated USA in first half at Gelsenkirchen. Two goals first by Jan koller with a thunderous header from a great cross by Grygera though the marking was very poor from the US defense. After this intial blow US seemed to settle down and were making few inroads and Claudio Reyna was unlucky when his shot hit inside of bar and came out. But that didn’t stop Czechs from attacking they were just simply marvelous while moving forward Nedved, Poborsky, Rosicky and Koller all combining well and were creating havoc in the attacking third. Then came the magic moment a wonderful move by Nedved and Rosicky which ended up Nedved’s cross coming back to Rosicky he took a moment and shoot the goal of the tournament. This guy is simply genius. Sad moment for Koller though he was carried off on a stretcher and probably it might end his world cup too. Sad for me too he was in fantasy team :(. Today is an important day for my fantasy teams, majority of my potential point scorers are playing and I badly need points :P.

Rosicky have pulled another marvelous goal for the Czechs in the second half, the goal which was always on cards after his initial shot was hit against the cross bar. Nedved sent a defense splitting pass and Rosicky just sprinted through and hit a beautiful shot to the lower right corner for his second and Czechs third. The look on USA’s coach told the whole story it looked as if he had given up in middle. And the tears in Nedved’s eyes were enough to tell how much he wanted to play in this World Cup, remember he came back from retirement to help his team qualify for the cup and now he is spearheading them in this event. Arsene Wenger must be delighted with his new signing Rosicky and boy what will happen when Henry and Rosicky combine, next year premier league will have some serious talent on display.

Next up is Italy and Ghana, sigh Azzurriiiiiiiiiiiiiii
