Justice in Football

We all already know that Spain is the champion of World Cup 2010. But what I wanna emphasize here is not how Spain could become a champion or failure of my favourite team, Brazil in the first World Cup held in Africa.

I just wanna emphasize some Justice in football.

First, let's begin with Slovenia, which has seen USA's clear goal disallowed by the referee, and the match ended with 2-2, and Slovenia got advantage from referee's bad decision. They tragically fail to qualify from Group C, following to 0-1 lost from England and USA's 1-0 win against Algeria.

Next team is Serbia, who saw Miroslav Klose sent off after slightly obstructed Serbian player. Serbia won 1-0 against Germany. But they failed in Group Stage as Australia beat them 2-1 while Germany beat Ghana 1-0, which gave Germany and Ghana ticket to the next round.

Brazil also got advantage from the referee when Luis Fabiano controlled with his hand before scoring to Boubacar Barry's goal. In that match, Brazil win 3-1, which resulting them to go to next round. In round of 16, they still won against Chile 3-0. But in the quarterfinal, Netherlands defeated them 2-1, sending them home.

Don't forget Germany who saved by the referee which disallowed Lampard's goal, in the last 16 match against England, the scoreline when that accident happen is 2-1 for German's lead, but if England had scored, who knew the momentum will change into Capello's side. Argentina has also got advantage from the referee when Carlos Tevez's offside goal is counted, when Mexico had more chances to score. Mexico lost concentration, and lost 1-3 in the end. When Germany and Argentina meet, it's 'advantaged' vs 'advantaged', so it's no problem which teams won, which in the end Germany thrashed Argentina four goals without any reply! But in semifinal, Germany outclassed by 'tiki-taka' performed by Spain, 0-1.

Paraguay, which played hardly in Second Round match against Japan, could easily conceded a penalty, after one of their defender fouled Japan's player, but they eventually won 5-3 over penalty shootout. In quarterfinal, they were defeated by Spain, from David Villa's only goal.

Uruguay, which dramatically win against Ghana, with 'Hand of Evil' Luis Suarez saved Ghana's 99,9% chance of scoring goal with his hand. They win 4-2 in a penalty shootout, after Asamoah Gyan's penalty hit the crossbar. in the end got two consecutive 2-3 lost - against Netherlands and Germany, and ended in fourth place. They were lucky when Ghana failed to score from the spot. But they were unlucky when they saw Netherlands offside goal is counted, and in the next match against Germany, Forlan's freekick only hit the post.

Netherlands, the finalist, got an offside goal counted against Spain, lost 0-1 over an extra time.

Lastly, France which qualified from Henry's two times handball, followed by Gallas' goal to beat Ireland 2-1 in aggregate, was destroyed in South Africa, with one draw and two lost, with only one goal scored. The team squad themselves even had a bad disharmony with each other, with Nicolas Anelka argued with Raymond Domenech and sent home by the France Football Federation, followed by Patrice Evra's captaincy continued in training boycott, France is completely destroyed in South Africa, mainly by themselves.

Well, teams might had got advantage(s) - unfairly - by the referee, or maybe got a high luck in one match; in one match would lost in next games, could be said it's the price they sacrifice to get the 'advantage', even if they never wished for get it. That's Justice in Football, which happens in this World Cup.

I write this without any disrespect any teams, I know most of teams playing in World Cup have already fighting at their best in South Africa.

World Cup Prediction Group B-H

Group B
As South Korea and Argentina win on the first match, they are favoured to go to the next round, but seeing Nigeria in the match against Argentina, I predicted Nigeria will come to the next round while Argentina would get the top position. Greece might replay what they get in Euro 2008

Group C
Slovenia wins against Algeria, while USA and England draws, so Slovenia stays on top, but the next two match, Slovenia isn't likely to win, so England and USA would go to the next round. Algeria would get 0 points from the three match

Group D
Very tough group, but Ghana, which has just got 1-0 victory against Serbia, and Germany would go to the next round. Ghana might beat Germany to reach the top of the group, like just Croatia did to Germany in Euro 2008. Serbia, and Australia would give Germany and Ghana challenge, but they still would say goodbye to world Cup

Group E
Netherlands, who has been very impressive in the friendly match, would be untouchable in this group. Cameroon and Denmark would battle hard for the ticket to the second round, but it's Cameroon which likely to get it, as this world cup is in Africa. Japan, which targeted the semifinal, would be in the number 4 in this group

Group F
Italy and Paraguay would get to the next round, despite would get a tough challenge from Slovakia. New Zealand would get nothing from three games

Group G
Brazil would top this group, and followed by Portugal. If Didier Drogba isn't injured, Ivory Coast would be more likely to go to the next round rather than Portugal. And North Korea would have same points with New Zealand from Group F..

Group H
Spain would easily overcome all opponent in this group, if they play like they do when beating Poland 6-0. Switzerland and Chile would battle hard to get the second place. And it could be even, while Switzerland has a good defense, Chile has a great offensive power. Honduras wouldn't qualify, but they would held either Chile or Switzerland

WORLD Cup Prediction Group A

Group A of World Cup consists of the Host South Africa, Uruguay, 1998 champions Mexico, and also 1998 World Cup Winner Frace. All the teams have same chances to go to the next round.

South Africa is the host. They were in doubt after not qualifying to the African Cup in 2010, but they performed well in the Confederation Cup, and also recent friendly matches. While having a quite strong defense, they don't have a very strong offensive power

Uruguay, which qualified via play-off, isn't a team who could easily beaten, although not outstanding. Uruguay would be a tough opponent for every team. Physically strong, but sometimes inconsistent

France also qualified via a controversial playoff, doesn't perform too well in the friendly matches, and they would struggle to play against Uruguay, Mexico, and South Africa. They have bunch of good players, like Ribery, Gourcuff, and Lloris, but organizationally not very strong.

Mexico has showed its cohesiveness, despite losing against Netherland and England, they don't played badly. They even could beat the defending champions Italy 2-1. Mexico has a good attacking power in Giovanni, Carlos Vela, Cuautemoc Blanco, and also Javier Hernandez

As all of the teams have almost equally same strength, this group would probably give many draw results.Personally, I think South Africa and Mexico would through to the next round. Mexico has showing theirself playing as a team, and South Africa would be very hard to beat in their home. If they perform like they do in Confederation Cup, the second round ticket would be theirs.
