Group B kicks off

Shock of the tournament so far Trinidad and Tobago the team with worst goal conceding record up to the built up of the tournament held out Sweden with one of the best goal scoring record in the Qualifiers. It is one surprise result it was Trinidad and Tobago’s debut match in the world cup and everyone expected a thrashing but no they somehow held on to nil nil even when for most of the second half they were down to ten men. Sweden on their part missed many chances and are themselves to be blamed for such a result but they look all good to advance to the next round. Too bad for me Ibrahimovic(another player in fantasy team) didn’t score hence I didn’t score any points sigh.

England on the other hand were disappointing in their game against Paraguay infact it was one crappy game, hardly had any rhythm even the goal scored by Beckham’s free kick which got deflected inside by Paraguay’s skipper wasn’t the best of goals. England will seriously need to change their tactics, though Lampard was impressive in attack but Gerrard who seemed more like again doing the holding job wasn’t involved much during attacks. Lets hope they get more creative in the midfield which in my view is one of the best among all.

Argentina and Ivory Coast coming soon….
