Cato’s end-of-week recap
France draws against Brazil
On Monday, the 2nd of February, Clash of the Titans, in which France locked horns with Brazil, with no one being crowned the winner due to failure to convert any chances. Even if this match lacked the sheer amount of chances and action that you’re used to, this fixture still attracted quite the crowd and kept them entertained.
Japan destroys Peru 2-0
On Tuesday,Japan completely outclassed Peru surely due to their experience. As soon as the match started, it was clear that Japan had total control, and the scoreline reflects this; it was an absolute display of strength from Japan, who easily killed off the match. However, Peru did create chances to try and make a comeback, but it was all in vain.
Italy 2 Spain 0
Wednesday was quite the match, full of physical tussles and fierce duels. Italy did come out with the 3 points and should be satisfied with that result, as it was a hard-fought win. We hope Spain will be able to be a challenge to Italy, who is most likely to be qualified in their group.
Germany beat Morocco 2-0
Germany scored 2 against Morocco to acquire 3 points on Thursday. Perhaps motivated by the famous Qec majorettes, Germany was able to display their higher level of technicality, power and love for the game and were ultimately the winners. This puts this team in an excellent position to try and challenge Portugal for qualifications. Germany will hope to be able to end Portugal's unblemished record.
France THRASH Argentina 5-0!!!
The spirits of Argentina have been absolutely destroyed as France gets one foot in the semi-final this Friday. The only way that they can be stopped is if Brazil wins by a margin of 6 goals. This match was extremely entertaining as Maanas scored a hattrick making a fool of the keeper thrice, Veedeesh also contributed to widening the gap, and Zayn was also able to find the back of the net. This collective performance has announced France as perhaps the favourites to win the tournament, but Brazil shouldn’t be counted out.
