Super Ronaldo weighs in to equal record
Brazil 4 - Ronaldo (45)(80), Juninho Pernambucano (52) ,Gilberto (58)
Japan 1 - Tamada (33)
It was a special day for Ronaldo. He scored two goals to equal Germany’s Gerd Muller as the highest scorer at the World Cup. Both have now scored 14 goals.
Before the match against Japan, Ronaldo was tied with his country’s football legend Pele with 12 goals. Then at the stroke of halftime he scored Brazil’s first of the night and became the highest World Cup scorer of his country.
By then actually Japan had taken a surprise lead, but you somehow knew that Japan was never going to cause an upset.
Brazil turned up the tempo in the second half, fully controlling the match and looked like scoring every time they came close to the Japanese goal. The second arrived soon through a Juninho Pernambucano screamer in the 52nd minute. Then the leftback Gilberto scored a beauty on 58th minute before Ronaldo wrapping it up with his record equaling goal in the 80th minute.
And what a goal it was! Ronaldo exchanged the ball with Juan, took a deft first touch and slotted the ball in the low right end of the goal, and he didn’t even look at the goalie when he shot.
This was a better performance from Ronaldo but he still looks heavy. In fact his lack of mobility caused him at least two other goals. And he is not going to have the same freedom given by the Japanese against Ghana in the second round.
Brazil too as a team seems to be improving as well. I think they are getting into the second round with full of confidence and who knows, with more games under his belt, Ronaldo might just go on to overtake Muller’s record.
Kewell puts Aussie in Round Two
Harry Kewell scored an important goal for Australia to put them through to the second round after a grueling 2-2 draw with Croatia. However the Liverpool striker must consider himself lucky as TV replays showed that he was clearly offside when he scored that goal.
For Australia, it has been a wonderful World Cup so far. This is their second appearance after 1974 and the first time they are progressing further than the first round.
Their next opponent is Italy and as I mentioned earlier, Italy is difficult to beat and I don’t see Australia, despite all the hardwork, achieve that.
