Football fever..

There have been quite a number of international friendlies and Euro 2012 qualifiers matches these past few days and we have seen a good round of matches that display football at it's best. What was expected to be a very mouth watering fixture between Brazil and Netherlands ended up to be a 0-0 draw and a very boring game.Argentina took on Nigeria and were trashed 4-1 what a surprise for a team that will be playing in the Copa America in a month from now, however Fifa are suspecting a fixed match as careless penalties were given by the ref for the day and other misjudged fouls how ever that is how the score remains. South Africa played against the 7times African Champions, Egypt and were able to come back with a draw in Cairo where most teams do not usually succeed in that, despite that it was not a really interesting match but anyway they got the point they wanted. As things stand South Africa are on the very verge of qualifying for the tournament that will be staged in 2012. England were also held to a draw by the Swiss, Germany are still on the role without having lost a match in Europe in their last 8 games, Spain went to the United States where they humbly beat them 4-0 which to me shows that the Spaniards are still true champions and will still dominate World football for sum years to come. This has been a wonderful weekend of football filled with good games and good sport-man-ship and let's hope it continues like that .
