Fifa begins with 90 mins and 6 goals of precision..
It was a great game between Germany and Costa Rica... which germany won 4-2 amidst good contest by CostaRica. By skills, player levels, and history Costa Rica may not be considered any threat to Germany... but they do threaten to use all open opportunities best and they did that today. 'Wanchop Again' said the commentator when CostaRica's wanchop artistictally crafted the ball to score is consecutive second.. (He did try many an attempt for a hatrick but a lone hero he was for sure because many of his teammates were all the time busy with defence and stayed back in their half of the ground.
If you saw the replays of all the goals today, you would want to play four of the six again and again..
1. Germany's Lahm plays a direct kick way out from the penalty area, and the ball drifts and swirls to the topright corner of the goal as if it was an preprogrammed to hit the corner folding of the goal post and head inside, and that was Germany's and the match's, and this world cup's first goal.
2. Wanchop is an artist with the ball.. After receiving a pass from teammates amidst the complex web of german defence, wanchop carries the ball like he is practising football and loves the ball so much and calculates so much that he doesnt energetically kick the ball to the goal even if the area seems clear... He manipulates time and his defence and artistically pushes the ball the direction, the height, the way it needs to get into the goal.. right at the last fraction of the second when the ball otherwise would have moved out of his quarters.
3. After two other goals by klose for Germany, through great headers, making it 3-1, Costa Rica badly wanted goals.. and there's one when Wanchop is there.
Wanchop again gets the ball after their teammates succesfully struggle and push it to him.. wanchop wastes time as usual just pushing the ball more closer to an area, as if he already knew the future positions of the ball and the defenders.. again wastes time not kicking it even though a german defender is already flying with all legs towards the ball to knock wanchops chances.. wanchop makes your fingers nervous pressing on your chair watching TV waiting to see wanchop just kick the ball with all the world's force.. And the artist with exclusive care and love for the ball does his 45th international goal in only 70 matches. ... and all costa rica fans and of course your fingers feel relieved of the pressure and smile at wanchops precision.
4. Another long shot from outside the penalty area with no tactics but just another direct pass, Frings of germany takes his time running straight and fast towards costa rica's goal while the pass comes exactly perpendicular to his run... reaches him just as he crosses the half-line of the field and runs forward like a steam engine headed to slam all costa rican defenders into their own goal post... .. Frings does a good shot with good power, and at that exact spot on the ball with that exact position of his German Reebok shoe, which carries the ball swirling and arcing slowly away from the very good costarican goal keeper's faar extended left hand...again a goal close to the unreachable top corner of the goal post and there it is.. the fourth goal that gives all Germans the clear signal that Germany has already won this game with 15 odd mins to spare...and as the scoreboard trickles... Germany 4 - Costa Rica 2.
