Arsenal at the World Cup - Day18

Big Phil is out injured for 2 months with a dislocated shoulder but the Swiss couldnt help much to avoid to add disappointment to his injury as they lost out 3-0 on penalties to the Ukrainians yetserday and consequently bow out. The swiss conceded their first goal since the start of the tournament when that first penalty went in after either side failed to score for as long as 120 minutes. The swiss ended poorly as they couldnt drive in even one penalty.

The other match where there wasn't any Arsenal interest was the one between Italy and Australia. The Italians won 1-0.

Now for today.

Today we have Gilberto, Henry, Reyes and Fabregas involved amongst the few arsenal players left now in the tournament apart from Jens, Sol, Cole and Theo.

Gilbertos Brazil take on Ghana and Henry & Co take on Spain wherein we have Reyes and Farbregas in todays knock-outs. The match between Spain and France is of particular interest to me as Spain have been scoring goals after goals right from the begining of the tournament and France just got into their grove by beating Togo 2-0. Spain seem to have an edge but you never know if the game goes to extra time or even to penalties.
