The FIFA World Cup in Brazil is gradually gaining momentum. Many fans witnessed interesting and intriguing matches of the second round of the World Cup, which were not without sensations.
The main sensation in the matches of the second round at the football world championship in Brazil can be called the final result of the meeting between the national teams of Italy and Costa Rica. The Europeans in the first match of the group stage in Quartet D showed very high-quality football, beating the British. Costa Ricans became, in turn, the main sensation of the start of the World Cup. They beat a strong Uruguayan team. However, no one could have guessed that Costa Rica would also beat Italy. The final result of the meeting is 1 - 0 in favor of the representatives of Central America. Not only the score, but also the game of the Italians is sensational. The Costa Ricans did not allow the Italian national team players to show their entire class. The Italians looked very dull and awkward against the background of their rivals. Costa Rica, thanks to this victory, secured itself an exit to the playoffs of the tournament from the group of death.
The sensational results can be safely attributed to the rivals of the Russian national team in the group. In the second round, the Algerian national team beat South Korea with a score of 4 - 2. Considering that the Africans were leading with a crushing score of 3 - 0 after the first half, then Algeria can get the impression of a very strong team. Perhaps, in terms of the organization of the game, the Algerians are really good, but their composition is little known among ordinary football fans. In any case, no one expected such a victory over the balanced Korea national team.
The sensational results of the second round of the World Cup include fighting draws in the matches of Group G. So the game Germany - Ghana and the USA - Portugal ended in the same way - 2 - 2. It is unlikely that anyone underestimated the Ghanaians or the Americans, but few could have assumed that they would deliver so many problems for the giants of European football. The Portugal national team runs the risk of not qualifying for the group at all. And already this can be attributed to one of the main sensations of the entire tournament.
