World Cup Day 3

Well, day 3 is in the books. Nothing spectacular in the three matches.

Netherlands best Serbia and Montenegro 1-0. SCG needs to organize their midfield to claim the remaining six points for this group. That does not look likely with Argentina still on their dance card. The oranje need a win against Ivory Coast, then a draw against the Albiceleste would assure them through to the second round.

Argentina over Ivory Coast 2 - 1. Argentina hit the cruise control a little too early in the second half and had to hang on to finish off the Ivory Coast 11. Drogba netted the Ivory Coast's goal and squandered a couple of chances that could have earned the Elephants a draw or maybe even a win. The Ivory Coast may pull a win against either Netherlands or SCG with their pressure.

Mexico 3 - Iran 1
The South of US guys were slow starting, but got it going behind Bravo, who netted 2 for the Greenies. Iran started well, but couldn't keep up with the Mexicans in the end.

Angola 0 - Portugal 1
Not alot of excitement in what I saw of this game. Pauletta's fourth minute netbender was the difference. Portugal may be playing for second behind the group's current leader Mexico (ahead on goal differential).
