PUMA Football
Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. Six more goals and the World Cup was officially over for North Korea. A result that also sadly puts our boys in orange in a tight spot. Cote d'Ivoire now have to win big over North Korea while Brazil diminishes Portugal with a result that eats up the 9-goal difference that’s now between them and Portugal. It might be a long shot but we’ll always remain optimistic.
A heroic ten-men Switzerland lost against Chile with 1-0 but they did manage to break a World Cup record. As the clock passed they erased Italy’s record of 551 minutes for longest period of not conceding a goal. Big up for that and despite the loss they definitely still have a good chance to advance to the next round. Funny how this group is looking now: a possible, and not too unlikely scenario is that three teams end on 6 points: Switzerland, Chile and Spain.
Imagine that unbelievable scenario for Chile, winning their two first games but still getting eliminated. Ouch. But we know very well – games have to be played and goals have to be scored in order to even start talking about advancing. If Spain does neither, this scenario is just nothing but a ghost of a dream. But it’s just so fun to imagine all the potential scenarios, all part of the beauty of football…
