Full Time: Cameroon 1 Ireland 1
Irie were definitely juvenated in the second half, and it was a well-played, evenly matched 45 minutes, with Cameroon having to hold off a late flury. The equalizer came on a stunning shot from Holland from 25 yards out. Cameroon still seemed to enjoy more offensive creativity, but Ireland was opportunistic, a fortuitious bounce leading to Holland's blast when a sprawling Cameroon defender attempted a clearing header, and Keane hit the post on a sneaky shot that also came from an attempted Cameroon clear. They also did well on set pieces, some fine chances coming from free kicks and corners. I still have to think Cameroon should have got the better of this, as there many missed first-half chances should come back to haunt them.

But enough about the footy. Here is my recipe for Jake's World Cup Coffee:
1 oz. Creme de Cocoa
1 oz. Creme de Menthe
1 oz. Milk
stir into 2 cups (as measured by gradations on decanter) coffee
Enjoy!

Up Next, in 30 minutes, Uruguay vs. Denmark in a group A match. After Senegal stunned France, this group has been thrown into disarray, and the winner of this game will certainly be in the captains seat for advancement.
