World Cup - Day nine

Day nine of the World Cup and France beat Switzerland by five goals to two. The French played total football and have now become my tournament favourite to win the World Cup. 

The French seems to have extra player for every position and I was particularly impressed with there player Karim Benzima. 

The shock of the day was Costa Rica beating Italy by one goal to nil. Italy seemed to be very relaxed and there finishing in the final third was woeful. 

I think this will be costly loss for the Italians as I think they will struggle to get a win against Uruguay which would take them into the knock out stages.
