Jens wins the game, Sol gets a game !

Five arsenal players involved in yesterdays happenings at the World Cup.

England who have not beaten Sweden since the last 37 years failed for one more time yesterday as the match between the two ended with two goals a side each. It was an interesting game to watch especially as England finally put up an inspired display and took the lead twice but all in vain as the Swedes attacking play paid off and they twice they came from behind to level the scores. They particluarly made England panic with their set-pieces. In fact both their goals came through set-pieces.

Freddie played his part well but couldnt get on the score sheet himself as Allback and Larsson were the scorers for Sweden.Ashley Cole played the full 90 minutes but couldnt help get himself a clean sheet as Sweden struck twice. Sol atlast got a game when he came on as a sub for the injured Rio Ferdinand in the second half to make it 50 caps to his credit now. Sadly Theo couldnt get a break again inspite of an injured Owen been led off the pitch as early as the 4th minute as he was replaced by Crouch.

As a result of the match both the teams advance to the knock-out stages with England as the leaders of group B and the Swedes the runner-up. Hence, England shall now face Ecuador while the Swedes are pitted against the mighty Germans.

Another gunner involved was Jens for Germany who got a clean sheet for the second time in a row as the Germans defeated Ecuador 3-0.

Now for today...

Toure and Eboue shall pay their last match in this tournament as they take on Serbia and Montenegro having had already crashed out of the Cup after the defeat to Holland.

The most interesting fixture today is the one between Holland and Argentina.

Its got to be an exciting match as both the teams are tough to break and are scoring goals. There is the Arsenal interest in the dutch side as Robin Van Persie is certain to be included in the first 11. He scored a brilliant goal against Ivory Coast and Van basten is confident of his capabilities. Let him score 3 past the Argentines today!
