World Cup 2002 Day 8
Missed the first two matches: dim sum at the World Trade Centre, then browsing Jurong Point. Rushed back for the last, best match yet, a clash of titans, though wasteful: David Beckham scored the only goal.
My day-by-day coverage of the World Cup in Japan and South Korea.
Missed the first two matches: dim sum at the World Trade Centre, then browsing Jurong Point. Rushed back for the last, best match yet, a clash of titans, though wasteful: David Beckham scored the only goal.
The first match was exciting; Senegal's defence held strong while Denmark's faltered. Skipped the second, not fussed. France versus Uruguay was thrilling too, plenty of chances, but both sides unlucky as the ball wouldn't go in.
Out shopping, so missed the matches, a disappointing set too. Portugal lost 3-2 to USA, Germany drew 1-1 with Ireland; both strong sides should've won, but the ball is round. Another France-Senegal upset in the making.
Watched the day's first match, quite boring, so I only caught the first half. China showed some improvement, just short on experience. Eager for the Brazil-China clash this Saturday, 8 June, at 7.30pm. The second half.
Missed first two matches. Went to school to teach a friend maths and databases, then basketball from 3 to 6pm. Rushed home for the last; Ecuador's passing was superb. Croatia 0 Mexico 1, Brazil won 2-1.
Stayed home all day with a few friends over, watching all four World Cup matches. Disappointed by England-Sweden. Results: Argentina 1 Nigeria 0, Paraguay 2 South Africa 2, England 1 Sweden 1, and Spain won 3-1.
Out most of the day, so missed every match, gutted, especially Germany thrashing Saudi Arabia 8-0. Day 2 in summary: Ireland 1 Cameroon 1, Uruguay 1 Denmark 2, and Germany 8 Saudi Arabia 0. More tomorrow.
