The World Cup opening match Germany v Costa Rica Match Report The first game of the World Cup this year has exceeded all the previous days games, which are often lax and troublesome problems, an unforgettable game. The long wait for World Cup 2006 is under a balmy evening Monaco of Bavaria with an enthusiastic but small crowd in the home nation attendance.Germany, efficient in their approach, perhaps personified by their generally efficient German Juergen Klinsman, regulated 4 -- 4 - - formation of 2, perhaps to experience trust and not as a real test. Above all, their party was missing Michael Ballack, the stronger hand when you retu from an injury later in the touament.Costa Rica education? Your guess is as good as me, if you choose a type of 3-6-1. A strange choice of coach Alexandre Guimares.The tension was, of course, hear the crowd more than the participants, such as the pipe from both sides have shown intent.Centeno attack showed some good ball and climbed further to the right through the heart of the midfield in the German first minute, only to be arrested illegally by Frings, who was quick to spot the danger. There was no other free kick.Frings then at other times appeared later than the end of Costa Rica and tested 'keeper Porras with a shot from distance. Scramble Porras wanted for his goal to close the ball, it means that he is wary of the new official ball for the FIFA touament. It seems to travel through the air with an irregular flight path.The German midfield began to understand the game, apparently to adapt to the space that most Costa Ricans, and after only 5 minutes the deadlock was broken. Costa Rica is not just from the edge of the box and the ball wormed his retu to full diminutive Lahm on the left. Lahm cut quickly to his right and has sparked a powerful right foot shot from outside the coer of the box that curled into the top left Goalie's take the message on the road.   That the objective, the World Cup scoring.Germany now have full control of the game, with its four midfield kept possession well and look for openings for another objective. Scweinsteiger now givem onm too much space to the left, fed a ball into Klose has evaded his marker but Porras race from his line quickly to discourage him.Then, all of a sudden, the German back four were caught hopelessly flat Costa Rica feet from a one-two. Wanchope fired to Centeno, the excellent performance of the weighted ball split the German level of defense, with three shipyards Friedrich started on the wrong side. Wanchope is personified cool as the "Advanced", then the slot wide advacing Lehmann. 1-1 minutes and Tico the following in the crowd were heard.Germany hours to regain control of possession and were given space to attack both sides, with Lahm and Schweinsteiger is on the left, right and Schneider dangerously. E 'was developed by Schneider that the second coming. He received the ball out wide and was the start on the right, where he had time for his passport for an alert Schweinsteiger, whose run directly into the box and cross-shot allows a simple tap Klose.Germany, now fully in command , bossed the rest of the half without a clear, although Podolski and Frings tested the ball from floating away. The German defense, when with his back against the wall decided dodgy, and were fortunate that a man in the line of the flag when Wanchope was again through the finish line. Guimar Sure things would change depending half.The second phase began with the same. Podolski went close to the edge of the field in the first minute and set the tone for the German domination. Their midfield further hike almost unmolested, with Frings and Borowski increasingly strong, and Schweinsteiger, the real quality and vision.The third goal now came from a fine move down the left, where Lahm Schweinsteiger powered deflected to the left, whose Marin, Costa Rica had is simply the best defenders flat feet again. Klose rose unchallenged to head, apparently goalward. A fine save from Porras only delayed the inevitable as Klose force, although the amount rebound.The hours seemed an opportunity to enjoy what the German player, and Lahm back after the left. Klinsmann has had a chance to rest some of his players, and began to substitutions, Kehl Borowski.Suddenly for the race to play a precision passing Centeno unlocks the German defense and Wanchope horse through the hole in Costa Rica again with a urlo. Wanchope was the final precision with the world outside of his right boot. Lehmann was confused when it had to ensure safety, but we had expected in two goals.The Tribune never end. Costa Rica never seemed to have taken the belief in Germany and a upset.The points were secured in the 87th Frings minutes with an absolute gem of a strike by all the 30 m, curling a desperate Porras in its upper left coer. A fitting end to every game, and one that can no longer be in this touament.   Final score: Germany 4 Costa Rica 2.Norbert Wartle writes for English Football Website Source:
