Thousands of soccer fans across the globe have been awed with many clinched to their television sets in the past few days inclusive of Uganda. Big teams are falling, small teams are falling. Exceptional ones like Spain and the likes of Brazil are shooting up in the sky. Shocker nations like Japan and Saudi Arabi have thrown betters’ money into abyss as African continent is yet to register it’s first win at the world’s greatest football tournament following decisive losses by Ghana, Senegal, Cameroon, and consolation draws by Morocco and Tunisia.
Brazil striker Richarlison scored twice including a spectacular swivelling volley to get his nation’s quest for a sixth World Cup title off to a perfect start in a 2-0 win over Serbia to top Group G.
Portugal narrowly outlasted Ghana, 3-2, at Stadium 974 in Ras Abu Aboud, Qatar, picking up three points in Group H with the win. It marks Portugal’s first World Cup victory in an opening match since 2006, and Cristiano Ronaldo, who scored once during the game made history as the first men’s player to score in five different FIFA World Cup tournaments. Ghana’s goals from Andrew Ayew & Osman were not enough to the Black Cats Africa’s first win at the ongoing world cup.
Absolutely nothing separated Uruguay & South Korea as one would get the feeling that if they’d play until next year they might not have scored still. South Korea had all her defenders including Goalkeeper called Kim (5 Kims at the back). Tottenham’s score machine Son Ming couldn’t either help score one!
A name most notably funny in Uganda Breel Embolo scored the lone goal of the game as Switzerland defeated Cameroon 1-0 in a Group G match between the sides at at Al Janoub Stadium, Al-Wakrah on Thursday.Embolo put a final nail against his own traditional nation in a that sensational game. The League 1 Mornaco player moved with his family from Cameroon to France before finally settling in Switzerland. Cameroon started the game on a dominating note with some really good attack in display.
