Probably THE Worst Game!

Switzerland and Ukraine produced probably the WORST World Cup game in history last night in a 0-0 draw that was boring, uneventful, and downright rubbish.

The main excitement came in the penalty shoot-out which was won by Ukraine 3-0, despite 'The Shev' missing Ukraine's first penalty.

In their penalty attempts, Switzerland had two penalties saved and one hit the crossbar.

Ukraine now meet Italy who had their own penalty fortune in their second round match against Italy. Blackburn Rovers' Lucas Neill (couldn't have happened to a nicer man) was judged to have fouled Italy's Grosso as he stampeded into the Aussie's penalty area deep into second-half injury time.

Up stepped Totti and with the last kick of the game, bulleted the ball past a diving Schwarzer.

Italy played the best part of forty minutes with only ten men as Materazzi was shown the red card.

In the last of the second round matches today, Brazil take on Ghana (minus Michael Essien, suspended) kick off 4pm and France (Claude Makelele and Willie G) take on Spain kick off 8pm.

Lets hope for better fare today.

COME ON ENGLAND!
