It was a do or die match for the
former world champions and England and Uruguay played brilliantly to outperform
each other. Uruguay did certain things better and walked away with victory leaving
England almost out of the World Cup 2014. England had all the chances to win
based on the quality of their game but it was Uruguay’s day we can say.
I am from a country where the
first love for a game goes to Cricket and I don’t know much about game terminology
of Football and its teams and players (except the global Soccer names) but I love
the speed of on-field maneuverability and the beauty of the presence of mind that
requires instant decision making every next moment.
And in case of a good FIFA World
Cup match, like this England Vs Uruguay match, its so action packed that it doesn’t
allow you to leave you the TV set even for a moment. This is how this one went
for me (I love to write for ‘myself’ on anything that pulls me and I share a
part of it on my blogging platforms):
