With serious allegations of corruption monopolizing the news cycle leading into the World Cup, the last thing FIFA needed following the opening match of Brazil 2014 was for the global headlines to be dominated by the awarding of a mystery penalty which would alter the course of the contest. Too bad the refs vanishing spray, which was first introduced in tournament play at 2011s Copa América, is only effective on the grass. We were all left wondering when the football would finally be the focus. All those questions were answered by the Dutch dominance of the World Cup holders yesterday. In the second half alone, Spain conceded twice as many goals as they did through seven matches en route to a first World Cup triumph in South Africa four-years ago. Then for an encore, Chile and Australia played out a highly spirited encounter. Jorge Sampaolis team were very convincing, and certainly would have won over many new admirers, that one of South Americas less glamorous nations, would be the one which punches well above its weight class at Brazil 2014. With Groups C and D taking to the pitch Day 3 provides us with the only quadruple header of the tournament. Where armchair enthusiasts the world over are treated to the prospect of four matches over the course of 11 hours. Todays headliner without question is the rumble in the jungle, as the aptly named Arena da Amazonia plays host to Italy v England. With four World Cup triumphs already to their name, a record which is only bettered by Brazils five, if Italy is the preening peacock of European football, then England is its Hippopotamus. Rare, if ever, has the land of St. George got their heads above the waterline during World Cups. Quite coincidentally the last time that happened was at Italia 90, which was also the last time the two nations met at a World Cup. Courtesy of Toto Schillacis late penalty, Italy prevailed 2-1 in the third-place playoff match. Through the entire history of World Cup quite remarkably, that meeting represents the only time the two nations have met at the tournament proper. They have though met in qualifying twice. The most recent time was for France 1998. Zolas superb strike at Wembley in February 1997 was the difference maker. The return fixture in Rome saw England claim a famous scoreless draw and with it top spot in the group. The iconic image of England captain Paul Inces head swathed in a bloodied bandage typified Englands approach on the day. One which had the current England manager Roy Hodgson assisting Glen Hoddle, officially in the role of interpreter. Hodgson was Inter Milans head coach at the time. When the World Cup Draw took place in Zurich early last December Manaus was chosen as the venue. The Arena da Amazonia, built at a cost of $300M has been in the news for all the wrong reasons as four workers have died during its construction. Brazilian football legend come politician Romario has been outspoken in his criticism. Pictures emerging on Thursday of a sub-standard surface the latest setback for a stadium which will host four group stage games. With Buffon set to miss out due to an ankle injury which occurred in training yesterday, combined with Montolivo fracturing a leg May 31st, the psychological edge certainly goes to England. Not that Prandellis team will need extra motivation this evening - but the only European nation to retain a World Cup [1934, 1938] is still smarting from its inability to emerge from a weak group in South Africa. A tournament they went into as defending champions. With soaring heat and intense humidity factoring, for England to stand any chance they will have to overcome the Achilles heel which has dogged them through the ages. Chasing shadows in the pursuit of a ball they surrender more casually than Andrea Pirlo completes successful passes. Based on statistical evidence and World Cup history, losing your first group stage game almost guarantees elimination. Although Prandelli nor Hodgson would admit it, if the game finishes as it did in Rome back in fall 1997 neither of them will be too upset.

That is just fine with manager Terry Francona. Jose Ramirez, one of several rookies who are getting significant playing time, drove in the winning run with a ninth-inning single that lifted the Indians to a 3-2 victory over the Houston Astros on Saturday night. "Thats a fun way to play," Francona said. "We had some youth out there, and were seeing what they can do." Rookies Tyler Holt and Roberto Perez also had a hand in the winning rally. Holt, pinch-hitting for Chris Dickerson, started the inning with a single off Jake Buchanan (1-3). After Perez moved Holt to second with a sacrifice, Michael Bourn walked. Buchanans wild pitch moved the runners to second and third before Ramirez, who doubled and scored in the third, lined a 3-2 pitch past third base. "I was trying to put the ball in play, trying to make contact," Ramirez said through Perez, who served as his interpreter. "Thank God Im taking advantage of the opportunity the Indians are giving me. Im just trying to get the most out of it." Injuries are a major reason why the Indians have turned to their rookies. Designated hitter Nick Swisher is out for the season after surgery on both knees. Outfielder David Murphy likely wont return until late September because of a strained oblique, and Bourn has been on the disabled list twice with a hamstring injury. "To us, it feels amazing," said Perez, who has started the last two games because Yan Gomes is out with a concussion. "These guys played at Triple-A with me. It just awesome to see their success. Its just awesome to be part of this team, and with them, too." The Indians have 10 walk-off wins this season. Cody Allen (5-3) struck out two in a perfect ninth as four pitchers held Houston to three hits. "We had a good streak offensively where we were scoring a lot of runs and swinging the bats well but weve had aa couple of games here where we havent swung the bats well," Astros manager Bo Porter said.dddddddddddd Danny Salazar continued Clevelands run of impressive starting pitching, allowing two runs with seven strikeouts in six innings. The starters have posted a 1.85 ERA (15 earned runs in 73 innings) in 12 games since Aug. 9. The Indians (65-63) have won eight of 12. Jose Altuves RBI single and Dickersons throwing error -- Clevelands 100th miscue of the season -- helped Houston score twice in the third. Michael Brantley snapped an 0-for-15 slump with an RBI single in the third. Bourn tied it with an RBI groundout in the fourth. NO DEFENDING THIS Two errors led to four unearned runs in the ninth inning on Friday, and the Indians hit the century mark Saturday. "Its added up to too many errors," Francona said. "It makes it difficult for us. Theres no getting around it." Cleveland committed 98 errors last season when it made the playoffs. ROSTER NEWS C Chris Gimenez was acquired by the Indians from Texas for future considerations. OF Ryan Raburn (sore right wrist) started a rehab assignment at Triple-A Columbus on Saturday. Francona said DH Jason Giambi (sore left knee) will likely start a rehab assignment next week. TRAINERS ROOM Astros: Porter isnt sure if RHP Brad Peacock (sore forearm) will make his next start. Peacock was removed Friday after five innings. His scheduled day to pitch is Wednesday against Oakland. Indians: Gomes was placed on the seven-day concussion disabled list. He was hit on the mask by a pitch Thursday and is still experiencing concussion symptoms. UP NEXT Astros: LHP Brett Oberholtzer (4-8) will make his third career appearance against the Indians. Houston has won six of his last seven starts. Indians: RHP Trevor Bauer (4-7) has battled consistency all season. He allowed five runs in the first inning in two of his last three starts. Bauer took a no-hitter into the sixth inning in the other outing.
