Re: 2018 FIFA WORLD CUP - CPU VS CPU

Day 5 - 18/06/2018


---Group F---

Hum? Where's Ibra? Well, without him, there wasn't much Sweden could do against Korea. The match was entertaining and tightly contested, but both teams lacked quality in offense. Well, at least until the 92nd minute, when Marcus Berg's cross found the head of John Guidetti to score a crucial goal. Korea will have to do better against Mexico and Germany now if they want to repeat 2002. Kind of a mountain to climb, I must say.

Sweden 1-0 Korea Rep.
Guidetti 90'+



---Group G---

Time to see if the hype over Belgium materializes into results this time. Shouldn't be hard against Panama making their World Cup debut. And it wasn't. Felipe Baloy fouled Lukaku on the edge of the box at the 11th minute for a totally unnecessary penalty. Hazard scored. A few minutes later, Hazard delivered a perfect cross for Mertens to score the header. Belgium had no difficulties and could have scored a lot more if it wasn't for some great saves from Jaime Penedo. At the 71st, Chadli scored the third from a corner after a lot of confusion inside of the box. There was still time in the end of the match for Lukaku and Batshuayi to score the fourth and the fifth. Even if opposition wasn't the strongest, solid performance, solid result. Belgium is for real.

Belgium 5-0 Panama
Hazard (P.) 11', Mertens 23', Chadli 71', Lukaku 89', Batshuayi 90'+


Totally one sided game between England and Tunisia, with Dele Alli and Rashford shooting from every spot in the first half and being only stopped thanks to the safe hands of Mathlouthi. Alli, facing an injury, was replaced by Sterling at the interval, who unusually played at the center, and it took only six minutes for him to make a perfect assist for Rashford to score the opener. Nine minutes later, Walker delivered a low cross to Harry Kane, who dribbled a defender and finished almost without an angle under the thighs of Mathlouthi for a nice second goal. Tunisia tried to go forward, but the English squad managed the advantage well. Solid performance in the first game to keep alive the hopes of repeating their title from 52 years ago.

Tunisia 0-2 England
Rashford 51', Kane 60'
