The most anticipated meeting of the eighth game day at the World Cup in Brazil was the match between the national teams of Uruguay and England. In addition to these outstanding teams, the national teams of Colombia, Côte d'Ivoire, Japan and Greece entered the stadium fields in Brazil on June 19.
The first match of the day took place in the capital of Brazil. The leaders of Group C, the national teams of Colombia and Cote d'Ivoire, took part in the match. The first half was goalless. There was tension in the arena named after the great striker Garrinchi. The impression was that the players had weights hanging on their feet - the development of events was unhurried. The second half delighted the viewer with goals. First, the Colombians scored twice, after which the South American spectators calmed down and expected a simple ending of the meeting. However, Gervinho managed to win back one goal. In the remaining 15 minutes, the African players tried to score more, but this did not happen. The Colombian national team scored another three points and single-handedly led the quartet C of the world championship.
The meeting between Uruguay and England was the centerpiece of the June 19 matches. Both teams lost their opening matches in the tournament, so the second round match in Group D was of great importance. The hero of the meeting was Luis Suarez, who scored two goals against the ancestors of football. The anti-hero is Wayne Rooney, who, although he scored one goal, missed two more great chances to capture the South American goal. At first, the Uruguayans took the lead, but then England struggled to recoup. However, in the final ten minutes, Suarez scored a double and brought the final victory to Uruguay with a score of 2 - 1. Now the South Americans have caught up with the national teams of Italy and Costa Rica, but the latter have a game with each other in reserve. The situation in Group D is even more confusing.
The last match of the day was the game in Natal between Japan and Greece. This match became the most boring one on the eighth game day. The final score 0 - 0 reflects the main content of the meeting. There were not many dangerous moments, but the Japanese were still closer to victory. These teams represent Group C at the World Cup. Now, after two rounds, the table in this quartet is headed by the Colombians with six points, the Ivorians have three points, and the Japanese and the Greeks have one point each. The teams will have to play one more match in the group.
