Attendance: 64,000
After the high of the first game we were all brought back down to earth with an almighty bump. These two teams were tipped as everyone's favorites to finish 1st and 2nd. I personally expected a very open and entertaining match but what we got was a dull, dour and disappointing affair. There was the occasional shot which threatened to wake up the watching public but the people that watched this match will not be remembering it for too long.
Only real highlight was in the second half. Substitute Nicholas Lodeiro daft challenge on Bacary Sagna after already being booked mean't he became the first player of the tournament to see red.
Thats all that can really be said in this game really.
All in all it was an OK start to the World Cup. Lets hope tomorrow's matches are more like the first game today then this dross.
