Football Feast: Aliterative Assessment

Germany v. Costa Rica
Cut in, curler quickly cuts Costa Ricans. Wanchope wriggles waywardly, wreaking worry. Klose clinical. Deutschland dominates, delivers, despite dodgy defence. Other opponents observe ominous opener.

Poland v. Ecuador
Polish paucity: purpose, poise, plan. Surrogate support senseless. Poor, pedestrian proxies. Ecuadorean enterprise, excellence eviscerates.

England v. Paraguay
England expects. Rooney roosts. Beckham bends, bores, becomes burdensome. Paraguay ping purposefully. Valdes vies – veritable va-va voom. Deserved denouement: draw. Early England expectations evidently excessive.

Sweden v. Trinidad and Tobago
Swedish superiority stifled. TNT ten-man tactics thwart top targetmen. Larsson lacklustre. Freddie flops. Dwight, different, digs deep. Shaka saves, surprisingly. Journeymen joy.

Argentina v. Ivory Coast
Top tangle twixt tango,tusk. Riquelme ruthless. Ivorians imaginatively incisive ingenues. Drogba defers defeat. Gauchos guard goalmouth. Drug-free Diego dances.

Holland v. Serbia and Montenegro
Robben rapacious. Dutch distribute diagonally, dawdle, depress. Serbs similarly sullen. Balkan Brazil? Balkan Barnsley, begob.

Mexico v. Iran
Iran industrious, if ineffective. Ageing Ali Daei averagely anodyne. Mexican mobility makes mincemeat.

Portugal v. Angola
Coloniser copes comfortably. Pauleta pounces. Figo fizzes, fades. Ronaldo retires ruefully. Angolans ankle-bite aggressively and arduously, albeit aimlessly.
