Juventus World Cup Report : Uruguay 2 – 1 England

Uruguay and England met today, in a match of two sides who desperately needed a win. They had both lost their first matches, Uruguay to Costa Rica and England to Italy, and the loser of this match would be almost surely – but not mathematically – eliminated. Thus, both sides were pretty desperate.

Juventus World Cup Report: Italy 0 – 1 Costa Rica

Italy lost the second game of the group stage, confirming his struggles in the second matches of competitions: they haven’t any of them won since the European Championship in 2000. A pretty uneventful match, which was all in all well controlled by Costa Rica.

Juventus World Cup Report: Chile 2 – 0 Spain

An utterly fearless Chilean display and a thoroughly lackluster performance by the reigning champions bought Spain’s era of international footballing dominance to an end. What better place for it all to end than the Maracanã; arguably the greatest theatre in the footballing world. The World and European champions were the first side to leave the 2014 World Cup, their first exit from a major tournament in eight years.

Juventus World Cup Report: Chile 3 – 1 Australia

A week ago it was widely reported that Arturo Vidal would miss the Australia game, and he might be a late exclusion from the Chile roster. Well, Vidal must have heard that, because he upped his recovery speed and not only started versus Australia, but he had a pretty decent outing for someone who hadn’t played a full match in nearly two months.

Juventus World Cup Report: England 1 – 2 Italy

Last night, Italy beat England, putting themselves in a very good position in the group considering also the surprising defeat of Uruguay against Costa Rica. An enjoyable game played at very good rhythm, where England’s young guns tried to defeat Italy’s experience, but came up short. A tie would have been a fair result too, but Italy was sharper in taking advantage of the chances they created.

Juventus World Cup Report: Switzerland 2 – 1 Ecuador

What a finish. In the event you missed it, well, next time make sure you are watching. Valon Behrami have just minutes earlier misplaced a pass then mistimed a tackle, made a perfect, last ditch attempt to save what would have been the winner for Ecuador, only to recover, dribble half the length of the pitch, and initiate what would be the game winning attacking play for Switzerland, with only 20 seconds left of stoppage time. Haris Seferovic was the one to convert the goal and cement his name in history.

Juventus World Cup Report: United States 2 – 1 Ghana

It’s become the rule and not the exception at this World Cup, but the United States vs Ghana game was a thrilling battle. While we saw both a beatdown (Germany vs Portugal) and a bore draw (Iran vs Nigeria) earlier today, the evening match was a truly even match up and the final score was always in play.

France 3 – 0 Honduras: Match Report and notes on Paul Pogba

In what was arguably the most one sided match so far of this World Cup – save for maybe Spain vs Holland – France beat Honduras 3-0 thanks to an own goal and a Karim Benzema brace. France limited Honduras to only one shot on target, while also keeping 71% possession during this match, stats that help illuminate France’s domination.
