Group D massive game begins

Oh well a highly anticipated match turned out to be dull nil nil draw. Argentina and Dutch both played out a draw but on the other end Côte D'ivoire and Serbia and Montenegro played out one of the thriller match of the tournament. Côte D'ivoire came out from behind to win 3-2. Best scenes were when Côte D'ivoire’s skipper scored the winning goal from the penalty spot, his own goal keeper had his face towards the crowd praying and only crowd reaction told him it was the goal. A memorable victory for Côte D'ivoire they played absolutely thrilling football but were disappointing in finishing and wasted too many chances. So Argentina and Holland advance and they will face Mexico and Portugal respectively.

Ok the most tensed time for me is about to begin in next five minutes Italy and Czech republic will start their decider and it is such a complicated situation that any two of the four teams can qualify. And news is Milan Baros is playing but Luca Toni has been dropped. So Lippi going with a strong midfield which I think was needed. So here we go Group D about to conclude.
