World Cup Review

Day 6
Wednesday, June 14

Today it was mid week erron get the mid-week pubacation so just like yesterday the match summary are from the offical FIFA world cup site from yahoo.com or you can go to this sight http://fifaworldcup.yahoo.com/06/en/

GROUP G (Match One)
Spain v Ukraine


Spain made a dream start to their 2006 FIFA World Cup™ campaign with a 4-0 victory over Group H rivals Ukraine in Leipzig on Wednesday, 14 June 2006.
Having waited as long as any team to get their campaign under way, Spain raced out of the starting blocks and were two goals in front inside 17 minutes as Xabi Alonso headed a 13th-minute opener before David Villa doubled the advantage.

If Ukraine thought things could not get any worse they were wrong as they lost Vladyslav Vashchuk to a red card just two minutes into the second half after conceding a penalty for a challenge on Fernando Torres. Villa tucked away the spot-kick and Torres completed the scoring with a spectacular half-volley with nine minutes remaining.

For just the second time since 1950, 12-times finalists Spain opened their FIFA World Cup campaign with a win. This was a comprehensive and impressive victory against first-timers Ukraine and should fill Luis Aragones's side with confidence. Ukraine's defeat means not one of the teams competing in the FIFA World Cup for the first time has yet managed a win.

GROUP G (Match One)
Tunisia v Saudi Arabia

An injury-time header from Radhi Jaidi rescued a point for Tunisia as they drew 2-2 with Group H rivals Saudi Arabia in Munich on Wednesday, 14 June 2006.
Jaidi struck two minutes into added time just as Saudi Arabia were contemplating a fine comeback victory. Trailing to Zied Jaziri's 23rd-minute goal, the Saudis drew level through Yasser Al Kahtani's fine near-post finish in the 57th minute and then thought they had taken all three points with substitute Sami Al Jaber completed a sweeping move with a cool finish six minutes from time.

A point a piece for Tunisia and Saudi Arabia after an exciting encounter which both sides will argue they should have won. Spain's 4-0 victory over Ukraine earlier means both teams will fancy their chances of making the second round.

GROUP A (Match Two)
Germany (W=3pts.)v Poland (L=0 pts.)


last-gasp goal from substitute Oliver Neuville gave Germany their second successive Group A victory against Poland in Dortmund on Wednesday, 14 June 2006.
Germany, who had been frustrated for the vast majority of the match through a combination of poor finishing and excellent goalkeeping from Artur Boruc, were grateful when the Borussia Monchengladbach man side-footed home in the first minute of added time.

The result does not guarantee the hosts qualification for the Round of 16, but it leaves them with one foot in the knockout stages.

Germany left it as late as possible to claim the three points and Poland can count themselves unlucky after holding them at bay for so long as the result matched the score when the teams met in the 1974 FIFA World Cup™ semi-final.


Not counting the Germany/Poland game to wrap up the day ever team have played one match in the world cup group stage, so here how things look after on match in the world cup group stage.

Breaking Culture News

Von Bondies testified in the royalties lawsuit,
12-13-03 Brawl revisited in testimony

The Big story in Culture City today happened yesterday, and I misread the story I posted on Monday(6/14 - 18 Days until Tastefest post)as yesterday testimony begin in the civil lawsuit over royalties from the first two white stripes alblum brought by producer Jim Diamond.

For those of you who do not follow Detroit rock music scence back in 2004 Jim Diamond, Owner of Ghetto Recorders sue the lead singer of the white stripe over back royalties over the first two white Stripes Alblum (1999 self title album debut(where he list as a co-producer and 2000 "De Stijl," (where he listed as a sound mixer)).

The trial (which will last for a week) was held in the courtroom U.S. District Judge Avern Cohn in the US District Court of easten Michigan in Downtown Detroit, Jack White came to court where in wore a black pinstripe suit, black shirt, black tie and a black fedora with a tiny red feather in it.

both white strips and Von Bondies front man Jason Stollsteimer, yes the same Jason Stollsteimer who back on that unfornaite day back on December 13, 2003 Brawl in one of the most infamous fight in Detroit Rock history that when Both Jack and Jason brawl in front of the stage at the Magic Stick during the CD release party for Blance.

Both men testified about the fight in court yesterday Stollsteimer told about finding an unusual message from White attached to his front door, "I found a note stuck to my door with a knife in it," Under the knife was a copy of a magazine interview in which White felt Stollsteimer slighted him by minimizing the help he gave in producing a Von Bondies album. (2001 Lack of Communication which was co- produce by White and diamond) "That's the last time I help you out," Stollsteimer said the profanity-laced message scrawled across the article said.

Earlier, in his own testimony, White said the idea that he stuck a knife in Stollsteimer's door was "a laughable lie."

Stollsteimer also testified the Message came two years before that infamous attack on 12-13-03 in Stollsteimer was watching the performance when he was approached by White. White attempted to speak with him; when Stollsteimer refused to talk, White spat in his face. Stollsteimer was then pushed to the floor and received seven punches to his right eye. White say later on He only punch him once

and white still keep his clam "We fought each other," White said in his testimony. "I claimed he pulled my hair out and was punching me."

White pleaded guilty in 2004 to misdemeanor assault and battery in connection with the incident.

Much of the that although the first album listed Diamond as co-producer, he really was not, and credit for producing belonged solely to Jack White. Diamond was paid $35 an hour for his work on the first album, which is all he was owed, she testifiedlittle direct relevance to the lawsuit, Asked if he recalled telling Diamond he would ruin his reputation in the music industry if he brought the lawsuit, White testified: "I believe I said this was going to ruin his reputation, if he did something like this."

Stripes Drummer Meg White also testified yesterday that although the first album listed Diamond as co-producer, he really was not, and credit for producing belonged solely to Jack White. Diamond was paid $35 an hour for his work on the first album, which is all he was owed, she testified

The trail will last un till the end of the week well keep you posted if any thing happen on the slowest growing blog sight of all of Detroit

World Cup Review

Day 5
June 13th


Well i was busy doing other thing with my blog sight so i did not do my report so here a brief match game report from the office FIFA world cup sight from yahoo.com

GROUP G
South Korea vs Togo


Ahn Jung-Hwan turned back the clock four years with a spectacular winning goal as Korea Republic came from behind for a 2-1 victory over ten-man Togo in their opening Group G match in Frankfurt on Tuesday, 13 June 2006.
Surprise semi-finalists in 2002, the South Koreans looked like they might suffer a taste of their own medicine when Togo, on their FIFA World Cup debut, took a 31st-minute lead through Mohamed Kader.

But after Jean-Paul Abalo's 53rd-minute dismissal, Lee Chun-Soo swept home the ensuing free-kick 60 seconds later before Ahn revived memories of his extra-time winner against Italy in 2002 with Korea Republic's second goal 18 minutes from time.

Korea Republic chalk up their first-ever FIFA World Cup win outside of Asia with a spirited second-half fightback. Credit to first-timers Togo, though, for putting their pre-finals problems behind them to push the Koreans all the way.

GROUP G
France v Switzerland

There was once again no separating France and Switzerland as they played out a goalless draw in their opening 2006 FIFA World Cup™ match in Stuttgart on Tuesday, 13 June 2006.
The Group G rivals drew both their meetings in the European qualifying round and recent history repeated itself here in a match of few clear-cut scoring opportunities. The closest either side came was when Swiss midfielder Tranquillo Barnetta's free-kick bounced back off a post and Alexander Frei failed to convert the rebound.

The Stuttgart stalemate leaves the European neighbours two points beneath the early group leaders Korea Republic, 2-1 winners over Togo earlier in the day. It also leaves France without a FIFA World Cup goal in the four finals matches they have contested since winning the Trophy in 1998.

With a point apiece, both sides will be reasonably pleased even if Korea Republic, for the time being at least, sit top of the group. It is the Koreans who are up next for France on 18 June while Switzerland - who have kept their first clean sheet in 23 FIFA World Cup matches - will tangle with Togo the day after.

GROUP F
Brazil vs Croatia

Brazil defeated European challengers Croatia 1-0 in an enthralling Group F encounter in Berlin on Tuesday, 13 June 2006.
The current holders of the FIFA World Cup™ Trophy and their legions of colourful fans provided entertainment both on and off the pitch but they were made to work hard for their victory by a well-organised Croatia side.

After both sides enjoyed a series of half-chances, the goal which proved to be decisive was of the highest order. A minute before the interval, AC Milan midfielder Kaka curled a left-footed shot past Stipe Pletikosa and into the top left-hand corner of the net.

The win gave Brazil their eighth consecutive success in FIFA World Cup™ matches, a new record, and how fitting that it was delivered by the wearer of the Seleção's No.8 shirt.

A winning start for the Seleção, but they were made to fight every inch of the way by a spirited Croatian side who ensured that while Brazil functioned smoothly in parts, they were unable to relax until the final whistle.

World Cup Review

Day 4
June 12th


GROUP F
Australia v Japan

I Miss the 1st 30 Mintues of the Match so i am little off track so insaid of my take off this match i going to put the wire copie of this match.

Sorry i was up untill 4:15 am this Morning finsh up a couple of post(Yesterday world cup Report and the gig guied, Because the person who i shared this comput was spening too much time find unclame cash on the inter net and eat up my time big time.

(From FIFA world cup site on yahoo.com)

Substitute Tim Cahill was the hero for Australia as the Socceroos scored three times in eight minutes to beat Japan 3-1 in Kaiserslautern and record both their first goals and their first ever win in FIFA World Cup™ finals history on Monday, 12 June 2006.
Trailing at half-time to Shunsuke Nakamura's 26th-minute goal, the opening Group F match turned on its head with the arrival of Cahill. He equalised with a close-range strike in the 84th minute and then fired a spectacular second in the 89th before striker John Aloisi put the icing on the cake two minutes into added time.

(Ed.) I saw all three goals and it was amazing to see a team who have not score any world Cup goals or even win a match pull the Upset as they pull defeat or even a draw in a big time win thank to a great Substitute and now even the Aussie are a long shot to win the whole thing Cahill will be a Hero.

GROUP E
United States v Czech Republic

This is the open match of what some say is the toughest group in the world Cup that feather four good team this is two of them. USA vs the Czech in one of the good match up that feather a USA team who want to prove that that there amzing run that put them in to the quarer-final before falling to Germany, On the other hand the Czech Republic are hugh fave to go far in the world cup rank high as No.2 in the FIFA World ranking (Brila No.1 from FIFA).

As the two teams goes on the pitch the hopes and Dream of both country hoping to goes far inthe world Cup as tghe Chezh hoped to prove there No.2 Ranking while the the stars and stripes prove that four year ago was no joke.

Afher a few mintues of good shot the Czech stirke first from a beauful header for Jan Koller of a nice pass from Zdenek Grygera to show why there the Numbers two team in the World to put them adhead 1-0.

The US tried to get the got to pull even but they cant pull thre trick with chance from Booby Convey,Eddie Pope and Brian Mcbride, The Czhec tried to go up 2-0 but the header by Defender Zdenek Grygera when over the goal.

The US Almost got it on even level whenb a sure Claudio Reyna goal from 25-yards out hit the left goal post as the tied goal is still elsued them as they tried to get back this game.

But Czhec got there second Goal of the Game with a sceamer by Tomas Rosicky that past ture US Goalkeepers to put the US down 2-0 and put the US down in a big hole Big time, And then in the 43rd Mintues Jan Keller fell Awkwardlly and injerd what is look lihe his Knee which could be a big blow if his is miss the rest of the tourny that could not happen at a worst time as the Czech goes up 2-0 at half time.

both teams was keeping the game at a even pace but it pick up as Marek to make it 3-0 but it was stoped by of a good takle from Pope and then Tomas Rosicky rocket off the crossbar.

The US had it chance when Landon Donovan put a pass for Eddie Johnson but the Czhes goalie Petr Cech was on the ball to stop that on and then the Czech came back the other side and wrap it up with a break away goal by Rosicky to put this game out of reach with a 3 - nil.

As Final wishle Sound the Czhec despie the loss of Koller show the why they are Number two in the world with a good three - zreo win, For the US it what now as they face a really must win game vs Italy on Saturday

Note: at the begin of the second half Jan Koller who went down was seen limping into the side line giveing the thumbs up he will be OK but heis ablivalb for the next match vs Gauna in unknown.

The second half start was a feeling out proseec but the second half burst out with Totti great pass to Alberto Gilardinobut ghana goalkeeper stopit it his legs a good effor indeed, a few mintues later Michael Essien shot on the other end for ghana but was stoped by italy keeper Gianluigi Buffon.

The Itallin almost made it 2- nil when simone got a pass and did some fancy foot work for goal but Richard Kingson had a ahnd in the save.
