What a drab match last nite between Portugal and Ivory Coast

Despite the winger from Portugal,Christiano Ronaldo declared himself that he would be the man of the history in World Cup 2010, the match left his dream out of reality as they got a draw with Ivory Coast which made quite a good defense that most of the time the winger could not stirke in.This means that the winger did not score for an international for 16 month.I thought that he would ended his drought season after his early strike however, luck was not on his side which the ball hit the post and bounced back to the field.

Ivory team was very active in the field even though their dominance of the field was about 43%.They gave Portugal a very rough struggle for the ball and even had hard tackle on their opponent.Tiene made impressive defense but however, he received yellow card for hard tackle of their opponent.The team pressured the Portugal even harder in the second half after Didier Drogba was put on field.However, it did not make much difference to the Portugal as they could not score until full time as Portugal also gave a stronger defense at the back during second half.

The Portugal keeper, Eduardo just had a brief watch of the ball in the opening 45 minutes.Gervinho made an impressive offence to Portugal by heading the ball hard but out of the goal and the keeper made a good save from Gervinho's shot which came quite far from the box in the second half.This all ended me with disappointment as I would like the Portugal to win the match...Do not misunderstand that I gamble in the match.I am just thinking Portugal has not won the World Cup for some time.I just hope it can reach final.Haha..Sound ridiculous?Perhaps....Maybe..Who knows if Portugal can win..Mission Possible..=)

Tonite there wil be a match between Spain VS Switzerland at 1400GMT(10pm Malaysia time), Honduras VS Chile 1130GMT (7pm) and South Africa VS Uruguay.I will probably will watch for the match between Spain VS Switzerland as it is more interesting and it is not too late for me to watch it at 10pm.So, any idea who will win the game for these 3 matches tonite?^^
