11/11/11 .....an exciting day or a bad day??

11/11/11 was a day to remember for obvious reasons.....especially in the soccer world. This date for many is a curious date in the calendar but turned out to be a postive one for Uruguay especially for their striker Luis Suarez, with a 4-0 win over Chile that sent them straight to the top of the south american standings. With Suarez scoring all 4 goals to win Chile he is now with an impressive 26 goals in 52 appearances for his country's senior side. Unfortunatly 11/11/11 was not a date many Argentinians or Colombians want to remember, instead of gaining 3 points because they were the favourites to win against Bolivia and Venezula, they had to settle with a tie (a score of 1 point). For Colombia at first it seemed that they had the points in the bag because of an early score in the first half but it wasn't till late in the game that venezula's midfielder scored leaving the game as a 1-1 final. Argentina on the other hand was even more embaressed having only tied with Bolivia on home soil. Bolivia made Argentina sweat because at first it seemed that Bolivia was going to win that game with the first goal in the 56th min until finally Argentina was able to get on pass Bolivia. In the end you can say that Argentina underestimated Bolivia just like everyone else as well as Colombia underestimating Venezula. The only thing i can say about this whole thing is that we don't know who is going to win anymore. The "strong" teams don't seem that strong anymore it really just is anyone's game at this point. If this keeps up it may not even be a favourite to win the world cup (Spain, Brazil, Netherlands), it just may be that team that everyone thinks won't even make it out of the round of 16, that team that everyone keeps underestimating.......all i gotta say is that it's going to be one hell of a ride!!
