The eleventh game day of the World Cup brought many different emotions to football fans. On June 22, three more championship matches took place in the Brazilian cities of Rio de Janeiro, Porto Alegre and Manaus. Fans could watch the games of Russia, Belgium, Algeria, South Korea, Portugal and the USA.
The main mast of the day for the Russian fans was the meeting between the national teams of Russia and Belgium. In Rio de Janeiro, Russian footballers tried to oppose the Belgian team. The final score speaks for itself. The Russians have lost. Lost seems to be minimal - 0 - 1, but the performance of Capello's wards leaves much to be desired, to put it mildly, the best. The Russian national team is a team that is not able to compete not only with the leading national teams of Europe and the world, but also those who are not awarded the title of the main favorites of the championship. The Belgians have got a good, solid line-up for the tournament, which is able to easily solve the problems of getting out of the group. The Russian national team could not become a hindrance to this. Despite the small score, Belgium looked much more skilled and deserved a labor victory. True, the goal was scored at the very end of the meeting. The Russians did not have enough to withstand the onslaught of attacks from the Belgians quite a bit. At the 88th minute, Divok Origi still upset Russian football fans. The Belgian national team guaranteed itself a way out of the group, but the Russians also have theoretical chances of continuing to fight in the tournament. Capello's team needs to beat Algeria and hope that the Koreans will not beat the Belgians in a big way.
In the second match of the game day, the rivals of the Russians in Group H, the national teams of South Korea and Algeria, met. 6 goals were scored in the game. Moreover, the first three flew into the gates of the Koreans in the first half. In the second half of the meeting, the South Korean players won back a goal, but quickly conceded the fourth goal. However, the Asians found the strength to score more, but this was not enough even for a draw. The final score of the meeting is 4 - 2 in favor of Algeria. The whole struggle in group H is still ahead.
In the final meeting of the game day, the audience could watch the confrontation between the United States and Portugal. The game turned out to be very exciting. After the first half, the Portuguese were leading 1 - 0. In the second segment of the meeting, the Americans scored twice. The game was on its way to its logical conclusion - the victory of the US team. However, in the 95th minute, the Europeans were able to recoup. The final score of the match is 2 - 2. This is the second effective combat draw of the tournament. The Portuguese team still has chances of reaching the playoffs. Ronaldo's team needs to beat Ghana and hope for the Americans to defeat the Germans in the last round. At the same time, the Portuguese need to score as much as possible.
