This match was a really tight one. The score was 0-0 until the
89th minute when Gimenez scored the victorious goal that made the Uruguay fans go crazy.
Ending Score =1-0 Uruguay. Goal scorer = J.Gimenez 89'.
This game was probably the most intense game i ever saw. Fun fact i saw a lot of football matches. Just when everybody was thinking that it was a draw and were starting to go home...Morroco scored an own goal on the 95th minute and Iran was victorious.
Ending score = 1-0 Iran. Goal scorer = Aziz Bouhaddouz 90+5' OG.
This match was the first major game in the world cup tournament. Spain vs Portugal . This match contained everything, Diving, incredible goals, skill and other.
If you did not see this match then you missed out on a lot of top quality football.
It was tight until the very end with Spain winning 3-2 . However in the last few minutes of the game Ronaldo scored a stunner of a free kick to secure his hat trick and save Portugal from their loss. Ending score = 3-3 . Goal scorer = Ronaldo 4' , Costa' , Ronaldo 44'
France vs Australia
France vs Australia was tight until the 58' minute when Griezmann scored a
penalty. Was it a dive ? Leave your answers in the comments. Anyway Australia
with another penalty but they failed to get the draw scoring an own goal at
the 80th minute. Ending Score = 2-1 France. Goal Scorers =Griezmann 58',
Jedinak 62', Behich OG 80'.
Costa 55', Nacho 58', Ronaldo 88'
Argentina vs Iceland
Argentina vs Iceland was meant to be a nightmare for the Scandinavians. However the score turned out to be 1-1 with Aguero scoring a wonderful goal in the 19th minute but then Iceland made the score even with a goal from Finnbogason just 5 minutes later. Messi then missed a penalty and Argentina was forced to take the draw. Goal scorers = S.Aguero 19', A.Finnabogason 23'. Ending score = 1-1
Denmark vs Peru
Denmark vs Peru was a match that I could not see because I had a football tournament. However the score was 1-0 with Denmark scoring a lucky goal at the 59th minute. Goal scorers = Y.Poulsen 59'. Ending Score = 1-0 Denmark
Croatia vs Nigeria
Nigeria had an absolute nightmare vs Croatia as one of the goals Croatia scored was a penalty and the other goal was an own goal from Etebo. The Africans were sent to school by Croatia. Will Nigeria recover from that match. Time will tell. Goal scorers = O.Etebo 32' (OG), L.Modric 71' (P)
Ending score = 2-0 Croatia.
Costa Rica vs Serbia
All I can say about this match is that Kolarov's free kick was amazing. It curled perfectly into the back of the net. Fun Fact I took a picture with Kolarov. Goal Scorers = A.Kolarov 56'. Ending Score=1-0 Serbia.
Germany vs Mexico
Germany vs Mexico. A game that was meant to end with Germany having 3 points in the table.
However it turned out the wrong way with Mexico scoring a fantastic goal and winning the game 1-0. Goal Scorers = H.Lozano 35'. Ending score = 1-0 Mexico.
Brazil vs Switzerland
One thing I will say about this game is that I expected more from Brazil and Neymar. Neymar did absolutely nothing on the pitch and Coutinho had to carry the team. Luckily for Brazil ,Coutinho scored a wonder goal making the score 1-0 but then Switzeland equalised with a great goal from a corner. Goal Scorers = P.Coutinho 20' , S.Zuber 50'. Ending Score = 1-1.
Me and Kolarov at
the Hive Stadium
Sweden vs South Korea
In this Match Sweeden dominated possesion over the ball and completely outplayed Sout Korea but they couldn't score luckily for the Scandinavians they got a penalty and scored it. Ending Score = 1-0 Sweden.Goal Scorers = A.Granquist (P) 65'.
Belgium vs Panama
I feel sorry for Panama. They got demolished by one of the strongest teams in the tournament, Belgium. Belgium played against them like they were playing a group of children . Well we have to at least salute Panama for making it to the tournament and anyway this was their first ever World Cup in history so it must not have been easy for them. Ending Score = 3-0 Belgium.
Goal Scorers =D.Mertens 47' R.Lukaku 69' R.Lukaku 75'.
England vs Tunisia
Englan created football. I never even heard od Tunisia .Of corse England were going to win this match but I must say that i was doubting it when the score was still 1-1 on the 90th minute but oviously 1 goal is not enough for Harry Kane as he scored another one on the 91st minute. FEW!!!. Ending Score = 2-1 England. Goal Scorers = H.Kane 11'F.Sassi (P) 35' H.Kane 90 +1'
Columbia vs Japan.
I would say that this match was a little bit unfair as Columbia got a red card on the 3rd minute. However it is football and you need to deel with these things and Columbia did try to win but it wasn't enough. Ending Score = 2-1. Goal Scorers = S. Kagawa 6' (P) F.Quintero 39' Y.Osako 73'.
Poland vs Senegal
Actually I am not surprised that Poland lost this match because Senegal have a solid striker Sadio Mane and a talented defender Koulibally but that does not explain Szczesny's mistake.If you did not see it then look it up you wont be dissapointed. Comment your theories on what happened down below.Ending Score = 2-1 Senegal.Goal Scorers = T.Cionek (OG) 37' M.Niang 60' G.Krychowiak 86'.
Group Stage Round 2
Russia vs Egypt
Egypt Out. Russia ruined Egyp't chances of qualifying for the round of 16's scoring 3 fantastic goals and securing their place in the round of 16's. Russia showed some fantastic football and I think they deserved their victory. Ending Score = 3-1 Russia. Goal Scorers = A.Fathy (OG) 47' d.Cheryshev 59'
A.Dzyuba 62' M.Salah 73'.
Portugal vs Morroco
4th minute. RONALDO!!. What a header to secure Portugal the win .One of the best headers I have ever seen.Morroco Out .Ending Score = 1-0 Portugal. Goal Scorers=C.Ronaldo 4'
Uruguay vs Soudi Arabia
Soudi Arabia Out. Soudi Arabia tried but it wasn't enough against a tough Uruguay side containing Suarez,Cavani and Giminez. Anyway 3 teams out already,Things Are starting to pop in this tournament.Ending Score = 1-0. Goal Scorers = L.Suarez 23'
Spain vs Iran
Spain apsolutely dominated this match, having 78% possesion of the ball in the game and Iran having just 22%. Also Spain made a total of 776 passes whilst Iran made a total of 216.This match was surely going to be a win for Spain and it was when Diego Costa scored a spectacular goal on the 54th minute,What a match for the team in red.Ending Score = 1-0 Spain. Goal Scorers = D.Costa 54'.
Denmark vs Australia
This game meant alot for Australia as for them to have a bigger chance to get through into the round of 16's they had to win this match and to be fair they nearly did. Both teams had the roughly same amount of possesion and shots on target so it was a fair match. However Australia drew and
Denmark got even closer to the Round of 16's. Ending Score =1-1.Goal Scorers = C.Eriksen 7' M.Jedinak (P) 38'
France vs Peru
Peru Out.At the beggining of the tournament I thought there was no chance of Peru qualifying and I was right with the french Goldon boy, Kyllian Mbappe-Only 19-scoring a great goal on the 34th minute sending Peru out of the World Cup and France into the round of 16's.Ending Score=1-0 France.Goal Scorers = K.Mbappe 34'
Argentina vs Croatia
Although Argentina had an amazing team,it was not enough to beat a strong,dedicated Croatia
side. With Croatia scoring 3 good goals and outplaying Argentina in every possible way.For me player of the match that game was Modric as every single one of his movements seemed brilliant,he scored one of the best goals i have ever seen and pushed himself to the limit running around the whole pitch and helping his team mates in every possible way.Ending Score = 3-0 Croatia. Goal Scorers =A.Rebic 53' L.Modric 80' I.Rakitic 90+1.
Brazil vs Costa Rica
This match was apsolutely dominated by Brazil as they outplayed Costa Rica in every possible way.However Brzil could not score and it looked like the score is going to be 0-0 but 7 minutes of extra time was added on and Brazil's hunt for a goal was on and luckily for them,they got not 1 but 2.The first one being scored by Coutinho and the second one by Neymar. What a game.Ending Score =2-0. Goal Scorers =P.Coutinho 90+1 Neymar 90+7.
Nigeria vs Iceland
Musa to the rescue.As the game progressed into the second half Musa decided enough is enough, scoring 2 skillful goals and winning Nigeria the game.Ending Score = 2-0 Nigeria. Goal scorers = A.Musa 49' A.Musa 75'.
Serbia vs Switzerland
I was actually quite surprised about the outcome of this game. As soon as I saw Serbia score their first goal I thought it was game over for Switzerland but no.Switzerland showed some fantastic attitude and passion towards the game and you can see clearly on their faces that they wanted to win this game and win they did.Both teams played well but Switzerland wanted the win more and so on the 90th minute Shaqiri scored a wonderful goal to secure their place in the round of 16's.Ending Score = 2-1.Goal Scorers = A.Mitrovic 5' G.Xhaka 52' X.Shaqiri 90'.
Belgium vs Tunisia
Tunisia Out.Well obviously Belgium were going to win this match as they had one of the most talented teams in the whole tournament with players like Hazard,Lukaku,De Bruyne and Mertens so it was only right if they won.However I was really surprised that Tunisia score 2 goals against Belgium which for them is a massive achievement.Ending Score = 5-2 Belgium. Goal Scorers =E.Hazard 6' (P) R.Lukaku 16' D.Bronn 18' R.Lukaku 45+3 M.Batshuayi 90' W.Khazri 90+3.
South Korea vs Mexico
South Korea Out.Mexico are on an apsolute roll as they are already through to the round of 16's .
They played fantastic football against both Germany and Korea doing loads of great passing combinations and dribbling skills.How fantastic to see a dark horse make it out of the Group Stages.
Ending Score =2-1 Mexico.Goal Scorers = C.Vela (P) 26' J.Hernandez 66' Son 90+3.
Germany vs Sweden
Right until the end I thought that Germany were going to lose as they conceded a goal early on and even though they came back their key Defender Boateng got a red card on the 82nd minute.However the referee added extra time and on the 95th minute Toni Kroos scores a stunning goal from a free kick. Now that is what you call drama.Ending Score = 2-1 Germany.Goal Scorers =O.Toivonen 32' M.Reus 48' T.Kroos 90+5'.
England vs Panama
Panama Out.The fact that England had 60% possesion over the ball says it all,England had 90 minutes of fun,enjoyable football scoring every single kind of goals,headers,penalties,Screamers you name it they scored it.England are through to the round of 16's.Ending Score = 6-1 England.Goal Scorers= J.Stones 8' H.Kane 22' J.Lingard 36' J.Stones 40' H.Kane 40+5 H.Kane 62'
