SWEDEN KNOCKED OUT SWITZERLAND BY 1-0 ON 03.07.2018 IN THE FIFA WORLD CUP OF 2018 !!!

"In the 'Round of 16' stage,

on 03.07.2018, it was a clash between Sweden

and Switzerland in the FIFA World CUP.

Both the teams kept on attacking and

counterattacking, but, their football skills were not of

high quality and lacked effective BUILD-UP.

In the 2nd half, both the teams got so many corners,

but failed to capitalize any of IT.

The way, Sweden created a defensive barricade,

it surely deserves some CREDIT.

The shot came

from the Swedish,

Emil Forsberg's BOOT.

Though, the Swiss goalkeeper, Yann Sommer

got beaten due to a deflection from

another Swiss, Manuel Akanji's FOOT.

After that goal, the Switzerland team

kept on attacking and to get

an equalizer, they were so DESPERATE.

But, Sweden knocked out Switzerland

by 1-0, as they succeeded

in breaking the Swiss GATE."- Arindam Sain

JAPANESE SAMURAIS FOUGHT TILL THE LAST, BUT BELGIAN SOLDIERS HAD THE LAST LAUGH BY 3-2 ON 02.07.2018 TO QUALIFY FOR THE QUARTER FINALS OF THE FIFA WORLD CUP OF 2018 !!!

"Belgium on 02.07.2018

may have underestimated

the team of JAPAN.

But, the Japanese footballers played awesome

aggressive football to prove that they are

from the land of the rising SUN.

Oh! How many easy chances got missed

by Lukaku of Belgium TODAY.

Even the Belgian goalkeeper in many instances

had a sloppy DAY.

Be it in defense line or

in offense line, Japan managed to

create a 3-2-1 formation PRISM;

and that formation was

so rapid and so effective with

a quality football PROFESSIONALISM.

Haraguchi gave 1-0

lead as his speedy shot

went into the NET.

After a few minutes, Japan increased

the lead to 2-0 as Inui scored

a goal with a fine PLACEMENT.

Japanese goalkeeper, instead of

gripping the ball, just punched it,

which was a BLUNDER;

as Vertongen of Belgium scored a goal

from his angular, long heighted header,

which was just a WONDER.

Felliani's header was

an excellent one TOO;

for Belgium to comeback in

the match to make it 2-2.

Japan's motivating sentence was,

'Try, try and TRY';

and they were really

playing like a 'Team of SAMURAI'.

Belgian goalkeeper, Curtois saved a

superb shot, which the

Japanese striker, Honda FREE-KICKED.

Soon after a moment, Chadli scored the

winning goal to make it 3-2 as the

final counterattack of Belgium CLICKED.

Well fought, Japan !

Japan's performance was

really REMARKABLE.

In the FIFA World Cup tournaments in future

years, Japan will perform much better

and they are really CAPABLE.

Belgium qualified into the Quarter final, though,

Japan's performances gave some proud moments

to cherish for the people of ASIA.

Belgium will play against Brazil in the Quarter Final and

any team can beat any team on any day, as it is the

World Cup of 'Uncertainty and Surprise' in RUSSIA."- Arindam Sain

BRAZIL KNOCKED OUT MEXICO BY 2-0 ON 02.07.2018 IN THE FIFA WORLD CUP OF 2018 !!!

"The day of 02.07.2018

could have been the day of

Brazil Vs Germany battle; had Germany QUALIFIED.

But, alas, Brazil had to play against Mexico,

a team which qualified in the 'Round of 16' stage'

to look quite happy and SATISFIED.

As per the past statistics and trends, the

Mexico team, with a slight

low confidence started WELL.

But, the over-confident Brazil

team had its own

Stylish Samba Story to TELL.

In the 2nd half, suddenly, Brazil's

Willian took the role

of an effective ball SUPPLIER.

Brazil took the lead

of 1-0, as Neymar proved himself

as an amazing APPLIER.

Mexico kept on attacking

and waited for the Brazil defenders

to do something WRONG.

But, the Brazilian defense

line-up looked so

organized and STRONG.

With the help of a Neymar's superb pass,

Roberto Firmino scored a goal

to earn some FAME.

Brazil knocked out Mexico by 2-0 and may play

against either Belgium or Japan in the

upcoming Quarter Final GAME."- Arindam Sain

CROATIA KNOCKED OUT DENMARK BY 3-2 IN THE PENALTY SHOOT-OUT ON 01.07.2016 IN THE FIFA WORLD CUP OF 2018 !!!

"Within 2 minutes of the match,

Mathias Jorgensen of Denmark scored a goal to take

1-0 lead against the Men in BLACK.

Just within a few minutes, Mario Mandzukic of

Croatia scored the equalizer and in this competitive match,

it is surely a very quick COMEBACK.

Both the goals looked so simple,

as if the quality of the goalkeeping

was not upto the MARK.

Denmark was not getting too much space

as a strong and organized control in the midfield

region is, as usual, Croatia's TRADEMARK.

The match on 01.07.2018 went to extra time, as in

90 minutes, the defensive zone of both the teams

looked so solid and TIGHT.

Despite so many attacking moves from both flanks,

Croatia failed to score against Denmark, the team which

counterattacked and continued the FIGHT.

Due to a foul tackle at the penalty box,

an opportunity to score a

goal missed by the Croatian, KRAMARIC.

Croatia got a penalty,

but, alas, what a waste

of that penalty shot by MODRIC !

The match of Croatia Vs Denmark

in the 'Round of 16' stage, finally

went to the TIE-BREAKER.

What a match ! What a drama ! Finally, Croatia won

it by 3-2 in the penalty shoot-out, which was

so thrilling and almost a BREATHTAKER.

As the match progressed,

it became the battle of

Danish, Schmeichel and Croatian, SUBASIC.

Ultimately, Denmark got knocked out,

as the victorious goal got

scored by the Croatian, RAKITIC."- Arindam Sain

RUSSIA KNOCKED OUT SPAIN BY 4-2 IN THE PENALTY SHOOT-OUT ON 01.07.2018 IN THE FIFA WORLD CUP OF 2018 !!!

"On 01.07.2018, if the Spanish strikers were

too dominating minded and POSSESSIONAL,

then the Russian defenders were

too cool-headed and CLINICAL.

Ignashevich had no clue momentarily,

about how he scored

an own GOAL.

Though, in the 1st half itself, Russia got a penalty

and Dyzuba scored the equalizer with that penalty

shot to play the heroic ROLE.

Time started PASSING;

and Spain kept on MISSING.

The Spanish footballers

kept on trying with

their 'Tiki-Taka' passing BUSINESS.

But, the Russian defenders were so organized, that

one may feel there is an invisible wall

to guard the Russian FORTRESS.

No results even in the Extra Time, so, the match

went to the stage of Penalty SHOOT-OUT.

Russia team had the last laugh with a result of 4-2

and the Spain team got knocked OUT.

Russians all around the world may be enjoying

their Royal Russian Vodka PEG;

by saying, 'Today, we are victorious against Spain,

due to Igor Akinfeev's left LEG.'"- Arindam Sain

URUGUAY KNOCKED OUT PORTUGAL BY 2-1 ON 30.06.2018 IN THE FIFA WORLD CUP OF 2018 !!!

"By now, almost everyone appreciated

the fact that in this FIFA World Cup

of 2018, Uruguay is a good, balanced SIDE.

On the other hand, Portugal is a good team, but,

more popular to the world, because of

Christiano Ronaldo, who is popular WORLDWIDE.

After some rapid passes, Edinson Cavani

got a ball to head

inside the Portuguese NET.

Portuguese Pepe scored the equalizer

with a header, and by that time,

for Portugal, it was not too LATE.

But, alas, Uruguay got 2-1 lead due to a

curling shot by Edinson Cavani, whose

foot-touch on the ball was so DELICATE.

Portugal tried hard but failed to come back

in the match, and got knocked out from the

'Round of 16' stage with a bad FATE."- Arindam Sain

FRANCE KNOCKED OUT ARGENTINA BY 4-3 ON 30.06.2018 IN THE FIFA WORLD CUP OF 2018 !!!

"France got a penalty as the player who got

fouled is Kylian Mbappe, the French young MAN.

France got 1-0 lead as the penalty

shot was taken by Antoine GRIEZMANN.

Argentina made it to

1-1 as the Angel di Maria's

long, super speedy shot was just OUTSTANDING.

Lionel Messi's pass was so good that

to make it 2-1, Gabriel Mercado just

touched the ball and started CELEBRATING.

After taking 2-1 lead, the Argentina defense

line-up showed slight COMPLACENCY.

Benjamin Pavard scored the equalizer for France, by

taking an acrobatic style long shot, your EXCELLENCY.

The weaknesses of Argentina defense line-up were capitalized

by the French footballer who was wearing Jersey No. 10.

Kylian Mbappe scored back to back 2 goals to make it

4-2 for France and increase Argentina's PAIN.

Argentina pulled one back in

the stoppage time to make it 4-3, and missed another

golden chance as France had a better LUCK.

Argentina team failed to win against France,

and they got knocked out from the World Cup of 2018 on

30.06.2018, as in the 'Round of 16' stage, they got STUCK."- Arindam Sain
