Day 3 results

The first match on the 11th of June was played between Serbia & Montenegro and Netherlands. Netherlands had a pretty strong team for this World Cup as they had thier old Ruud Van Nistlerooy, Chelsea's amazing striker Arjen Robben, Arsenel's Robben Van Persie and one of the best goalkeepers of all today who also captained this team, Edwin Van Der Sar. With such a strong team, thier victory was obvious over a reletively weaker team and they won the match 1-0.
Next up were Iran and Mexico. Not much is said about these teams but just that they did not made thier debut this time and have been playing for a long time in previous World Cups. A challenging match was played between both teams but it was Mexico who were victorious with a score 2-1.
The last match of the day was that of Angola and Portugal. Angola were the debutants this time but despite that they gave Portugal a very tough fight. Suprisingly, they had a lot of fans present who were supporting them in Germany so they didn't feel any pressure. Portugal had managed to take the lead in the opening part of the game and struggled to maintain that score as Angola were not week on the attack. The famous Christiano Ronaldo had plenty of chances but could not avail anyone of them.Final score, 1-0 to Portugal.
