Football King Posted February 29, 2004 Author Share Posted February 29, 2004 Sunday 1st June 2007 Brazil vs. England Guangdong Olympic Sport Centre, Shantau It's a hot day in China for this clash of titans. Brazil are the favourtires today with odds of 6-4, England had 13-8 and a draw was 2-1. Both sides have worldclass players and they have to be on top form to try and win this match.

They were having the early attacks. England had so but not as many. The Brazilian and English defences were good at keeping the ball out. Brazil were satified on the 38th minute. Amoroso had a freekick. He kicked the ball and it hit the crossbar. Luckily (or unluckily for England) Chelsea's Diego was close by and tapped it into the goal. Rooney tried to get a game back a minute later but the Brazilian goalie forced a corner. England got a goal on the 57th minute. Gerrard won a header from Alecu. The ball went to Rooney who controled it well and ran throught the centre into the ball. When he was free from the last defence and the goalie came out he kicked the ball with his right foot and scored and got England back into the match. Brazil got a load more attacks, but it was England that got the goal to win the match. On the 79th minute during a Brazilian corner Barry headed the ball upfield. Ferdinard releaved it and gave Rooney who was running a lovely 45 yard pass. Rooney boared down on goal but he was unable to do anything. He attempted to cross it to Owen. Lauro tried to save it but only defected it and Owen scored. Brazil piled on the pressure on England but the English defence and goalkeeper made sure that Brazil couldn't get the goal they deserved. Diego (Chelsea) had a good match and won man of the match, but rest of the Brazilian team got 7s. England's key preformers were Kirkland, Ferdinard, Gerrard and Rooney: all getting 8s.

Beckham went up to take tha penalty; hopes were high. But they were dashed when he skyed it. In the first half Thompson took a lot of long shots, but most were harmless and didn't scare the Irish. Ireland's first very change came on the 13th minute when Reid gave the ball to O'Conner who was in space. O'Conner ran forward into the English box, but was he shot it wide. Lee gave England a scary moment on the 19th minute when Connolly crossed the ball to Lee. Lee headed it but Kirkland was able to grab hold of it. On the 58th minute Thompson did a long ball towards Ameobi who headed it away from O'Shea. Rooney got the ball and changed at the goal. Given ran out and saved the ball and then got a hold of it. England should have won this match. They dominated most of it but Given was pretty much superman today. Beckham and Thompson were very disappointing.
