World Cup 2014

Well, so much for my nil - nil prediction on the Spain Holland affair.

 

The fear going in was that the Spanish mid-field and back end were likely to be exposed for what they have become since the last Euro ... old and slow.

 

Columbia and Greece about to kick off.

 

I like Greece in this one.

The Bosnian Dragons are 150 - 1.

 

Those aren't bad odds for a small country making their WC (and major tournament) debut.

 

=====

 

So far all the matches, IMO, have been very entertaining. Lots of goals and no draws so far.

 

The fields have been in great shape, The fans have been vocal. The refs have not been horrible, but a few questionable calls.

 

A few surprises and many not surprises. Costa Rica looked very good.

 

Bosnia plays their first match this evening. Can't wait.

 

GO BiH!!

I'll be pulling for Bosnia tonight. Would be a major upset. Don't care for Argentina when it comes to soccer.

I have to say that the streaming quality (HD) on cbc.ca is fantastic.

 

Swiss and Ecuador about to kick off.

Looks like a lot of empty seats for this one. First time I have noticed empty seats for any match.

1 - 0 Ecuador on a perfectly executed free kick and header into the net.

 

Looked so perfectly executed that the Swiss left 2 Ecuador players unmarked in the box on the free kick. Someone, or two, messed up there marking.

 

Ecuador keeper looked sharp on a number of Swiss opportunities.

1 - 1 late in second half.

 

The Swiss tied it early in the second half on a beaut of a corner kick headed in by a half time substitute.

 

Looking at the Swiss names there are many Bosnian names on that squad. May have ended up there as refugees during the war.

Glad the Swiss won in the end. The disallowed goal was a good goal. Awesome tackle to save the game followed by a quick counter to win

What a finish ...

 

Ecuador had a good chance near the box that was beautifully denied by the Swiss defender on a great tackle and steal.

 

Of course the Swiss went down field and scored a goal at 90' + 3' ... seconds before the final whistle.

 

Beaut of a goal by Haris Seferovic ... good Swiss name, right there. That's a Bosnian name.
