Yeah thats right , no twists , no hiccups , no surprises. Everything went went as predicted.

1. Holland Vs. Serbia (11,June)

Score : Holland 1 : 0 Serbia
Verdict : Fair result
Key Player :
a. Robben : scored the only goal in 18th , and also looked like the only one to score again.
Disappointing :
a. van Nistelrooy : the (former??) ManUtd star never looked like himself , there were long spells where he cudnt even get a touch , let alone have a chance in the penalty box. was apropriately subsituted later.

2. Mexico Vs. Iran (11,June)

Score : Mexico 3 : 1 Iran
Verdict : Fair result
Key Player :
a.O.Bravo : scores a double , both of his goals gave mexicans the lead .

3. Angola Vs. Portugal (12,June)

Score : Angola 0 : 1 Portugal
Verdict : Fair result
Key Moments:
a. Pauleta almost scored in the 15th second !!! but his shot went just inches wide. It was an indication of what was to come.
b.Pauleta finally found the back of the net after some superb work by Figo. Angola couldn't really come back after this.
Key Players :
a. Figo : Yeah surprisingly true , figo was in fact their best man last nite, tormenting the angolan back four with his unstoppable runs and step-overs.
b.Ronaldo : ManUtd star was as lively as ever , hit the post and forced two great saves.
c.Pauleta : scored the decisive goal.

# Group C or the Group of death , doesnt really look like one now , with both Argentina and Holland winning convincingly. Argentina could very well qualify if they beat Serbia. Holland vs. ivory coast could be tricky , but you can really get the feeling that dutch wuld make it.
#Group D : Portugal and Mexicans find themselves on good grounds. Angola will have to now dowell against Mexico, if they are to get through.
