DAY 15

 

6/26/14. RIO DE JANEIRO - It was about time for Mini David to take his swag to the second largest city of Brazil and the third largest metropolitan area in South America. Christ the Redeemer, Copacabana & Maracana Stadium are among the most popular attractions to visit in the Carioca cultural landscape that is the beautiful Rio.

 

One unfortunate news today is that FIFA suspended forward Luis Suarez for nine matches and banned him for four months from any soccer related activities for biting defender Giorgio Chiellini on his left shoulder during the Italy-Uruguay game, a couple of days ago. Nevertheless, one very positive note is that Argelia made it passed the group stage for the first time ever in the history of the World Cup.

 

TODAY'S RESULTS:

USA 0 - 1 GERMANY

PORTUGAL 2 - 1 GHANA

ARGELIA 1 - 1 RUSSIA

BELGIUM 1 - 0 SOUTH KOREA

 

Germany & USA qualified from Group G, and Belgium & Argelia adavanced from Group H. Ronaldo's Portugal, Ghana, South Korea & Russia are out of the competition.
