It’s 9:00 a.m. I have already showered and dressed for the day. I have a plan to watch the third game of the 2006 World Cup.. I turn on the TV and the game begins. England versus Paraguay. I am definitely favoring England in this match. I am more familiar with the English team. Only minutes into the game, David Beckham gets a free kick. It goes into the goal. Beckham has scored. No, now there are saying that it was an own goal on Paraguay. I guess one of the guys from Paraguay headed it in off Beckham’s kick. It was a great looking kick anyway.
Now the keeper for Paraguay is injured and needs to come out. I hope for Paraguay that their number 2 keeper is decent.
I’m starting to feel hungry, so I’m going to go and make some pancakes. I’ll be back.
Second half begins. The score remains 1-0 in favor of England. Paraguay is being a lot more aggressive here in the second half. I am starting to like Crouch from the English team. He’s like 6'7" and towers over everyone. He seems to have good footwork too.
There seems to be a lot of penalties in this match. That’s the 3rd yellow card that’s been given out. This lone to Crouch. He got it for arguing with the ref. That’s a stupid penalty. Now if he is a bit too aggressive on a play and gets another, he’s in trouble.
One of the English players was dribbling the ball down field when a guy from Paraguay threw him to the ground. No call on the play. That was bad officiating.
Time is running out for Paraguay. Now in the 89th minute. There is only two minutes left. A great shot on goal for England and a good looking save for Paraguay.
Were it not for the own goal, this could have been a nil-nil tie. That’s no fun at all. But I think that goal was going in one way or another. Beckham deserved that goal.
2 minutes of stoppage time. We’ll see if Paraguay can do anything in the 2 minutes. Time is running out. That’s the game. England wins the game 1-0. Congratulations to the Brits.
