Day 3 produced some firsts in the 2010 World Cup, however the misfortune of the English and their goalkeeper Green was the lot of the Algerians. Courtesy of the Jabulani's penchant for being light and changing its direction of flight at the lastest second, the Algerian keeper could not latch on to the ball and it took residence in the back of his net giving the Slovenians the game with a scoreline of 1goal to nil. The mighty and most-notorious Jabulani had claimed its second victim. Ghana, who played in the second game of the day against Serbia(the first match in groupD),earned the distinction of being the first African team to record a win in the 2010 World Cup. They earned the win through an 85th minute penalty kick taken by Asamoah Gyan. Their coach,Milovan Rajevac, though did not look too joyous at the sound of the final whistle. That may have been caused by the fact that he himself is a serb.Anyway, the Black Stars won by a goal to nil, and it is not their fault, Rajevac's fault, nor the referees fault that Kuzmanovic of Serbia stupidly used his hand to stop a deadly cross by a Ghanaian in his own fucking 18 box. Too fucking bad.
Another first of the day occurred in Durban. It was the venue of the match between Germany and Australia. Although the Germans-three-time champions and the hosts of the last World Cup- were the clear favourites, I don't really think many expected the drubbing, the whitewash, the destruction, the humiliation, the utter annihilation that Australia suffered at the hands of the Germans. At the final whistle, the Germans became the first team at the 2010 World Cup to score 4 goals and win by a 4-goal margin and the Australians became the first to concede 4 goals and lose by that same margin. That was the first whitewash of the tournament. Lucas Podolski got the first goal with a masterclass shot from distance. Klose, doing what he knows how to do best, clinched their second goal with a header. Thomas Mueller and Cacau added the icing to the cake.The men from Oz cannot put their loss down to their foreman Tim Cahill's sending off because they were already 2 goals down when it occurred and they already seemed in way over their heads, out of sorts, in the match. Below are some scenes from Day3. Enjoy!
No you won't catch me goalie. I prefer the back of the net to your dirty dirty hands!
That's the Algerian keeper. What an unfortunate soul. Green has company now. hehe!

Look at how ecstatic Asamoah is.But make di boy no forget say na penelty im score o. E dey celebrate like say im dribble the whole team score.
Do not ever give Klose a chance at goal with his bloody head. You bloody well know he won't fuck up. Especially in a fucking World Cup.
