Match Colombia v Greece Fifa World Cup 14/06/2014

Colombia and Greece clash on Saturday in Group C plagued by fears over where their World Cup goals will come from.
The South Americans were rocked when talismanic striker Radamel Falcao lost his battle to be fit for the finals after suffering a serious knee injury playing for French club Monaco in January.
Immediately, Jose Pekerman's team lost a man who has scored 20 goals in 51 internationals since his debut in 2007.
The 28-year-old was his country's top scorer in the qualifying campaign as his nine goals helped Colombia make the finals for the first time since 1998.
In the absence of Falcao, Teofilo Gutierrez, who plays his club football at River Plate in Argentina, is expected to carry his team's goal-scoring burden starting against the Greeks.


Gutierrez, 29, has scored 12 goals in 30 internationals and will be supported by Victor Ibardo, the Cagliari winger, or Porto's Jackson Martinez.
Colombia, whose best World Cup run was a last-16 appearance in 1990, have 18 players who feature in the European leagues.
One of those is Falcao's Monaco teammate James Rodriguez, a key figure in midfield who is a genuine threat from free-kicks.
However, his appetite for the hard yards of defence has often been called into question.
Martinez believes the 2014 Colombia team has more talent than the 1994 squad who went to the United States finals as one of the favourites but flopped in the first round.
"I think that it's one of the most evenly-matched groups at this World Cup," said the Porto player.
"Ivory Coast have very experienced players with a lot of quality, Japan are always at the World Cup and cover every blade of grass, and Greece are tactically very strong.
"When you're at a World Cup, the first thing you say to yourself should be, 'We don't know how far we're going to go, but we do know how far we want to go'."
- Few mysteries -
Colombia skipper Mario Yepes, 38, believes there will be little to choose between his side and Greece.
"In football, there are few mysteries. We have an overview of what Greece are like and I would think they have a clear idea of Colombia," said Atalanta defender Yepes, who sees possession of the ball as key.
"It'll be a very complicated game, as will all the first phase matches."
Greece, the shock European champions in 2004, were knocked out in the first round in South Africa in 2010.
They can call on first-choice striker Kostas Mitroglou who has plenty to prove after his £12 million (15m euros, $20m) move from Olympiakos to Fulham turned into a nightmare.
The player called 'Pistolero' by his adoring Greek fans made just one start for the London club, who were relegated from the Premier League while he spent most of his time fighting a knee injury.
The 26-year-old has eight international goals but he has a knack of scoring at the right time.
He scored twice in Greece's 3-1 home win against Romania in the first leg of their World Cup play-off and found the target again in the return leg in Bucharest.
That ended in a 1-1 draw as Greece made it to Brazil 4-2 on aggregate.
Mitroglou made his name at Olympiakos, once scoring 15 goals in 17 matches, including a Champions League hat-trick.
Greece will be skippered on Saturday by another Fulham player, Georgios Karagounis, the 36-year-old who has 135 caps.
"Our main goal is to make it to the knockout rounds, which is something we have never done before," said Karagounis of a Group C which also includes Japan and Ivory Coast.
"In order to do this, we have to take each game as it comes. The most important game for us is against Colombia. This is our first game and they are a dangerous team."

Colombia (Possible, 4-4-2): Ospina; Zuniga, Yepes, Zapata, Armero; Cuadrado, Aguilar, Rodriguez, Sanchez; Gutierez, Martinez.

Greece (Possible, 4-4-2): Karnezis; Torosidis, Papasthathopoulos, Manolas, Holebas; Salpingidis, Katsouranis, Maniatis, Kone; Samaras, Mitroglou

Mexico vs Cameroon 1-0 - (All Goals And Highlights) - Mundial Brazil - ...

Mexico 1-0 Cameroon Highlights [ Group C - 2014 World Cup Match ]
61′ 1 – 0 Oribe Peralta



Only goal of the match came in the 2nd half where Peralta scored in 61st minute of the game to make it 1-0 and get all three points. Mexico absolutely dominated the game from the word go and although they put the ball twice in the back of the net in first half, both goals were disallowed.

Mexico started with Javier Hernandez on the bench and the way Mexico played it looked like a good decision as they created many chances in the opening 45 minutes. Former Tottenham attacker Giovani Dos Santos was constant trouble for this Cameroon defence who found it hard to cope with pressure applied by mexico.

Cameroon defended deep but they failed to mark their men in the final third which lead chance after chance and they were incredibly lucky to have gone into break with score at 0-0.
After the break however Mexico up the tempo and they were rewarded with a good goal coming from Peralta, Dos Santos low hard shot was saved by Cameroonian keeper but on rushing Peralta was on hand to poke it home and get a deserved lead and ultimately a win

Match Chile Australia Fifa World Cup 13/06/2014

Chile and Australia clash in Group B on Friday with both teams really needing a win if they are to have anything to play for against Spain and the Netherlands later on.
Chile may well fancy their chances in the group, especially if the Netherlands' defence starts to look shaky, so they will be doing everything they can to take maximum points from their opening game here.
They have been on decent goalscoring form in their two warm-up games against, the admittedly weaker, Egypt and Northern Ireland, and they will take encouragement from that particularly against Australia.

The Socceroos have struggled in their warm-up games, although they have played teams of a decent enough standard. A draw with South Africa and defeat to Croatia is not ideal, and they will need to do better going forward in particular.

Chile (Possible, 3-4-3): Bravo; Jara, Medel, Gonzalez; Isla, Vidal, Diaz, Beausejour; Sanchez, Vargas, Fernandez


Australia (Possible, 4-3-3): Ryan; Franjic, Spiranovic, McGowan, Davidson; Milligan, Jedinak, Bresciano; Halloran, Cahill, Oar

Match Spain vs Netherlands Fifa World Cup 13/06/2014

 

 

 

Match Info:
Soccer World Cup
Spain vs Netherlands
Date: Friday, June 13,2014

 

Four years ago, Andres Iniesta’s goal in the 116 th minute catapulted Spain to its first World Cup title over Netherlands in a 1-0 victory in South Africa. On Friday, the former finalists meet in the opening Group B match at Arena Fonte Nova in Salvador, Brazil.

 

Manager Louis van Gaal’s squad was denied its first World Cup title after the nation’s third trip to the final in the tournament’s history, but brings back most of its attacking stars from 2010 including Robin Van Persie, Wesley Sneijder and Arjen Robben. However they are only three of seven to make the return trip.

 

Hoping to be the third nation to ever win consecutive World Cups, though not necessarily favored to do so, Spain will once again send out the likes of Iniesta, David Villa, Cesc Fabregas, Xavi and all-world keeper Iker Casillas.

 

The two sides will play for the 11 th time during the World Cup, with Spain holding the 5-4-1 advantage and 16 goals to 11 for the Dutch.

 

Expect a match similar to 2010’s final, with Spain’s lightning quick attacks meeting a fortified Dutch backline and netminder Michel Vorm, who believes Holland still has enough experience in the attack to compete in Brazil.

 

“Arjen Robben had an amazing season with Bayern Munich, [Robin] Van Persie has done very well for the national team, Wesley Sneijder is playing his 100th game against Spain,” Vorm said to The Guardian, “Nigel de Jong is very important as well. That is so much experience and so much quality.”

 

Vorm also said reliving Robben’s missed opportunity in the 60 th minute that could have put the Dutch on top and changed possible altered the landscape of the final four years ago is an experience he prefers to avoid, but stressed Holland are not out for revenge.

 

To his credit, albeit with an odd choice of words, Spain manager Vicente del Bosque stressed his team is capable of adapting should Holland rehash its physical play from Johannesburg.

 

“We are not Talibans with just one way of playing,” Del Bosque told Marca. “Possession without having depth doesn’t have any point. For that reason we are working so that the team can pressure to win back possession and then as a group attack.

 

“Football is played in many different ways and there isn’t just one. We don’t have a magic formula, we have a plan based on the players that we have available. That doesn’t mean that there aren’t others who are just as good and give results.”

 

The ability to adapt is certainly a skill any team needs to exceed in the topsy-turvy tournament, but that pales in comparison to the need of a healthy squad. Born in Brazil but opting to play for Spain, striker Diego Costa, who helped Atletico Madrid capture La Liga last month, believes his injured left hamstring has healed but his health will be a continued concern throughout the tournament.

 

 

Spain (Possible, 4-2-1-3): Cassilas; Azpilicueta, Ramos, Pique, Alba; Alonso, Busquets; Xavi; Costa, Fabregas, Iniesta

 

Holland (Possible, 5-2-1-2): Vorm; Jaanmat, De Vrij, Vlaar, Martins Indi, Blind; Claise, De Guzman; Sneider; Robben, Van Persie
