So the football fever is here finally! The FIFA world cup had an amazing first week. With many big surprises and many humiliations. The shockers were the matches of Germany and Argentina. The 2014 world cup finalists with some of the worlds greatest players, failed to secure a win. This was an issue of concern for both the teams. Things only got worse for Argentina this week as they experienced a humiliating defeat against the Modric led Croatia! Modric himself scored a spectacular goal from distance. However his counter part, Messi failed to convert even a sitter of a goal. Argentina's worries just got worse when they ended up loosing 3-0.
Now their FIFA hopes lie entirely in the hand of Iceland's game against Nigeria. This one turned in Argentina's favour and they are back in with a chance to make it to the next round.
The next big scare was for the German football team. The defending champions drew their first game and conceded an early goal against Sweden. Things didn't look good for the Germans either. They looked at an early exit as well, untill Reus put one past the goalkeeper to level it for them. Then in the dying minutes of the game, the German sniper shot a spectacular curler to put the champs in lead. The game ended in a 2-1 in favour of Germany.
Brazil too had a bit of a hiccup. They were looking at another draw against Costa Rica. The Brazilians had many shots on the Flying Costa Rican, keylor Navas. However none were successful. It was in the injury time that cutinho put one past Navas and later the Brazilian prodigy Neymar Jr made it 2. The game ended in a 2-0. The next week is going to be even more exciting. Stay tuned for more shockers!
