Day 3

6. Algeria vs. Slovenia- 1-0 Slovenia

Man these games are a little early for me but I got up and watched this one, and a big one for the US's future. The other two teams in group C battled it out this morning and the nation with the smallest population in the World Cup came out on top on a late goal. And I might say that was some bad goal keeping by the Algeria keeper, plus a bad haircut. Algeria had some chances, and a man sent off for a silly handball, what was he thinking its not like everyone was going to see it and you were going to get a red card. Well after this game it makes the US's next game against Slovenia on Friday all that much more important as Slovenia leads the group with 3 points to US and England's 1 point each.

7. Serbia vs. Ghana- 1-0 Ghana

The next game for the day was a pretty good one, with Ghana missing some key players but they didn't show it. Serbia was supposed to be some peoples sleeper pick but at times they just looked asleep as Ghana had more of the chances and possession early. As the game progressed it looked more and more like it was going to end in a draw, but another careless handball changed that. A stupid handball in the box gave Ghana a penalty kick and Asamoah Gyan delivered the goods giving Ghana all they would need to become the first African team to win on African soil.

8. Germany vs. Australia- 4-0 Germany

Well this game was not as close as I thought it would be, but I'm not too mad about it seeing as I picked Germany to make it to the final. The game from the beginning was dominated by the Germans scoring two early goals and never looking back. Australia packed the midfield and defense with players looking to grind out a draw, but Germany was too good in attack and after Tim Cahill was sent off in the second half with and iffy red card Germany poured it on. Their youth proved too much and they put on a show in front of a big crowd.
