MALOUDA GOAL CAN'T SAVE THE FRENCH
Posted on: Tue 22 Jun 2010
A goal from half-time substitute Florent Malouda was not enough for France
as they suffered early elimination from the World Cup, beaten 2-1 by hosts
South Africa.
Already two down by the time Malouda was introduced at the midway point by
coach Raymond Domenech, the French had made six changes from the side
defeated by Mexico last Thursday.
The Chelsea man was joined by captain Patrice Evra on the bench following
the squad's refusal to train over the weekend, while Nicolas Anelka flew
back into England yesterday after being sent home.
Despite the problems inside the camp, Les Bleus actually started brightly.
Andre-Pierre Gignac had an early chance but shot straight at the
goalkeeper, and then Abou Diaby's cross was flicked goalwards by Djibril
Cisse, but from too great a distance to trouble the South African
custodian, Moneeb Josephs.
Bafana Bafana's first goal came 20 minutes in, and courtesy of an error at
the other end by French 'keeper Hugo Lloris, who came for, and missed, a
corner, allowing Bongani Khumalo to head into an empty net.
Katlego Mphela almost doubled his country's lead as the vuvuzelas sounded
in Bloemfontein, beating two challenged before shooting just wide.
If the situation was already bad for the French, and it really was, they
somehow contrived to send themselves even lower when Yoann Gourcuff was
red-carded on 25 minutes, having raised an elbow in an aerial challenge
with MacBeth Sabaya in the South African area.
Their uphill struggle to avoid an embarrassing exit was becoming steeper
and steeper, until South Africa netted a second goal and it became
vertical.
It was not pretty, but Mphela wouldn't mind one bit, as he bundled a low
cross over the line at the far post to give his side a chance of
progression.
Josephs had to instinctively push a Franck Ribery free-kick over the bar
after ex-Chelsea defender William Gallas had failed to divert it.
Stephen Pienaar had another goal disallowed for the hosts before the break,
but they went in at half-time with plenty to be cheerful about. Domenech
on the other hand, had a very long face indeed.
In a bid to improve their afternoon, if not their overall standing in the
tournament, Malouda was brought on for the second half, in place of Gignac
on the left of France's attack.
The Chelsea player was quickly into the action, winning a free-kick for
his side on the left flank, but it was South Africa who almost scored
again, Mphela hitting the outside of the post after Siphiew Tshabalala had
threaded him through a porous French defence.
Either side had chances, though it was the Africans who looked more
dangerous, before Malouda gave his side a way back into the game with 21
minutes remaining.
Ribery burst through the home defence, beat the goalkeeper to the ball and
squared across goal, where the flying winger was waiting to tap home
France's first goal of the tournament.
They continued to push for an equaliser which would at least begin to
restore a little national pride, and South Africa's evident fatigue
suggested it would be possible.
It was not to be though, and so Malouda's World Cup ends prematurely, the
first Chelsea man eliminated, while Domenech leaves his France post with
the side in disarray.
South Africa too head out, and in doing so become the first host nation
not to make the knockout rounds, despite Mexico's defeat to Uruguay.
Luis Suarez, the highly-rated Ajax forward, headed the only goal of that
game in the first half, meaning Uruguay top the group and Mexico join them
in second place thanks to their 2-0 win over the French.

ENGLAND ADVANCE
Posted on: Wed 23 Jun 2010
Chelsea's England players live to fight another day at the World Cup after
a tense 1-0 win over Slovenia on Wednesday afternoon.
The win sends them through as runners up of Group C, while Slovenia crash
out following USA's late winner over Algeria in the other game.
As in the first two games, three of Chelsea's four began the game in the
line-up. Despite pressure from within the camp and outside it, Fabio
Capello resisted the urge to start Joe Cole, but John Terry, Ashley Cole
and Frank Lampard all continued. The sub would see his first action of
this World Cup in the second half.
It was a nervy start from the English, encapsulated by Terry's short
square pass to Matthew Upson in the sixth minute, intercepted by a
Slovenian forward but resulting only in an England throw.
Former Chelsea man Glen Johnson sent Wayne Rooney away down the left in
the 10th minute, and the Manchester United's cross almost picked out
captain Steven Gerrard, but it was cut out at the last minute by a
Slovenian defender.
A long-range free-kick after 14 minutes from Lampard gave England a first
attempt on target, the Jabulani ball moving in the air but held by Samir
Handanovic.
Moments later Terry got across his marker at a corner and flicked on, but
the ball escaped past the far post.
At the other end he covered his defensive partner with an expertly-timed
block , and then Lampard headed the resultant corner away, only as far as
Milivoje Novakovic whose deflected volley was held by goalkeeper David
James.
Then came England's opener, and it arrived through Jermain Defoe. James
Milner crossed from the right, Defoe got in front of his man and volleyed
through Handanovic. A nation breathed a large sigh of relief.
Another Milner cross towards the Spurs forward on 26 minutes ended up with
Lampard on the edge of the area, but the midfielder could not gain his
composure in time and lashed over the bar with his left foot.
England's front players were certainly lively, forcing Handanovic into a
pair of fine saves within seconds. First Defoe smashed straight, then
Gerrard slotted to his left, but the score stayed at 1-0.
Seconds into the second half Lampard's header set up Defoe but the forward
dragged it wide of the post with Handanovic beaten.
Defoe did hit the net four minutes later but that was rightly given
offside after Rooney had moved to soon, the incisive pass coming from
Lampard, who was already showing signs of personal improvement.
Terry met another corner at the far post on 57 minutes and connected well,
only some smart keeping from Handanovic keeping him out, and then Rooney
scuffed his effort against the post when he should have doubled the lead.
At least the chances were coming this time.
As long as it was 1-0 though Slovenia were in the contest, Novakovic and
Zlatko Dedic reminding England of that with two efforts Terry had to throw
himself in front of, before Johnson did the same from Dedic again.
Seventy-one minutes had passed. Time for Joe Cole.
The mercurial playmaker would tuck in behind Defoe, but it wasn't until 86
minutes that he could really make an impact, running into the Slovenia
area but shooting high over the crossbar.
Lampard kept the ball down the England right for a few vital seconds and
drew a foul deep in injury time, allowing Joe Cole and Milner to play
keep-ball against the Slovenian defence.
It was an important contribution from Chelsea's departing midfield man and
his Aston Villa colleague, and ensured a memorable, if edgy, victory.

IVANOVIC ELIMINATED
Posted on: Wed 23 Jun 2010
Defeat to Australia saw Branislav Ivanovic and Serbia knocked out of the
World Cup on Wednesday night, as Germany and Ghana went through.
Serbia were well-fancied against the Australians but wasted a host of
first-half chances and then fell two behind, while Germany were 1-0
winners over Ghana, the Africans progressing thanks to their superior goal
difference to Australia.
Ivanovic played the full 90 minutes for the Serbs, and almost scored, only
to see his shot brilliantly saved (pictured above) before Australia took
control and ended the Chelsea man's World Cup dream.
Ghana went into the final round of games top of Group D, and required only
a point against the Germans to secure their passage into the last 16.
Germany needed to win to guarantee their qualification, but could go
through with a draw if the Serbs did not beat Australia.
For Ivanovic and Serbia it was simple, win and you're through, and they
started the better side against the Australians, who themselves were not
yet eliminated but would need Ghana to beat the Germans to progress.
Inside the opening minutes Milos Krasic could and then should have given
his side the lead, first shooting straight at Aussie's keeper Mark
Schwarzer, and then rounding him but shooting over from a tight angle.
Germany were almost gifted the lead at Soccer City when John Mensah
diverted the ball towards his own goal, Ghana goalkeeper Richard Kingson
forced into a tremendous save to keep it out.
After 20 minutes in Nelspruit, Chelsea man Ivanovic made a key
interception at the far post, out-jumping Josh Kennedy after mark
Bresciano had delivered a deep cross from the Australian right.
Two minutes later he could have given his side the lead, ghosting into the
area and firing a bouncing ball hard across Schwarzer, who outstretched
his arm and made the type of excellent save fans of his Premier League
club Fulham have grown used to seeing.
Sami Khedira should have scored for Germany but was denied by Ghanaian
stopper Kingson, and then Nikola Zigic headed wide for the Serbs after
Ivanovic had supplied a killer cross.
Krasic had an effort disallowed for offside and Kingson pushed a Bastian
Schweinsteiger free-kick away, so both games went in goalless at
half-time. If it stayed that way, Ivanovic would head home.
Jason Culina fired just wide and then Mark Bresciano had a free-kick
tipped wide as Australia started the second period brightly in Nelspruit,
and then came news of a German goal from Soccer City.
It came from Mesut Ozil, one of the bright young things of this
tournament, who sent a dipping left-footed shot into the Ghanaian net.
Now Serbia definitely needed a goal, but they were on the back foot and
twice Ivanovic saved them, first hooking clear as the ball bounced in a
busy penalty area, and then when he beat Tim Cahill to a loose ball after
goalkeeper Dragan Stojkovic had let the ball out of his grasp. First class
from the Double-winning defender.
Ivanovic couldn't save them a third time though, and when Cahill
out-jumped Nemanja Vidic and headed goalwards, there was only one outcome,
and Serbia had a mountain to climb.
That mountain grew just minutes later as sub Brett Holman fired in from
distance to double the Australian lead, and suddenly the Socceroos had a
chance to go through.
They still needed two more goals though, either for themselves or the
Germans, to level the goal difference with Ghana, but when Marko Pantelic
pulled one back for Serbia their dream must have died.
The forward had the ball in the net again, but the flag went up, and when
the same player sent an easy chance a yard over from just six yards out,
the game was up. It is a desperately disappointing end to the season for
one of Chelsea's most improved men.
Germany will now face England, and Ghana will play USA in the second round
matches this weekend.

DROGBA & KALOU BOW OUT, PORTUGAL PROGRESS
Posted on: Fri 25 Jun 2010
It was a case of three in and two out for Chelsea players at the World Cup
on Friday, as Portugal advanced at the expense of Ivory Coast.
With Brazil having already sealed their progression from Group G, only one
of Portugal or Ivory Coast would be joining them, with the odds stacked
heavily against Chelsea's African pair of Didier Drogba and Salomon Kalou.
They would need to beat North Korea heavily and hope the Portuguese were
also badly beaten by Brazil, to overturn a nine-goal deficit in goal
difference.
For our Portuguese trio, a point against the Brazilians in Durban would be
enough for a place in the last 16. Only Ricardo Carvalho was selected from
the start in this game, with Paulo Ferreira on the bench and Deco ruled
out with a hip injury.
In Nelspruit, Kalou was on the bench, but Drogba would captain his
country, and led from the front.
Inside the opening 20 minutes, Les Elephants must have thought they had a
chance as they went two goals up, Yaya Toure netting the first and Romaric
the second, the latter after Drogba had rattled the crossbar with a
thunderous volley and had a powerful header disallowed for offside.
No matter how many they scored, it would not matter if Carvalho kept a
clean sheet at the heart of the Portuguese defence, and that's just what
he was doing.

Carvalho challenges Nilmar
Brazil forward Nilmar did have a far-post chance but goalkeeper Eduardo
saved it, Carvalho clearing, and then Luis Fabiano headed wide at the far
post, the Chelsea man doing just enough to put the striker off.
Into the second half, Drogba sent a diving header wide from six yards out
after 55 minutes, as hopes of a major upset began to slip away.
For Portugal, Carvalho was effectively marshalling Nilmar, stealing the
ball away from the forward twice in quick succession, while Cristiano
Ronaldo's run should have resulted in an opening goal from Raul Meireles
but the midfielder shot wide.
Drogba failed to connect properly with another header as Kalou prepared to
come on, making his entrance on 64 minutes.
After a couple of false starts the 24-year-old managed to pick the ball up
centrally, beat his man and test the goalkeeper, but his shot was too
straight, then moments later his next effort was too high.
Jong Tae-Se, who had impressed in earlier games for the Koreans, should
have pulled a goal back, before Kaloushowed how it was done, side-footing
home Arthur Boka's brilliant left-wing cross from close range.
A Drogba free-kick was turned in from close range by Aruna Dindane but the
offside flag was raised again, and with just four minutes remaining, the
game was well and truly up for the Ivorians.
In Durban, Portugal and Brazil were cancelling each other out, both
content to go through and see what the draw from Group H throws up for the
next round.
For Carvalho, it is three clean sheets and a place in the last 16, for
Drogba and Kalou, it is time for a break and a chance to reflect on what
might have been.
