World Cup At A Glance

Monday’s results

England’s players ignored the turmoil involving its fans in the streets of Marseille and beat Tunisia 2-0 in Group G.

Romania edged Colombia 1-0 on Adrian Ilie’s 15-yard chip shot in first-half injury time at Lyon.

Germany gave the United States a lesson in soccer at the highest level, dominating in a 2-0 victory at Paris in Group F.

Stars of the day

Paul Scholes, England, had a strong game at midfield and scored the clinching goal on a curving 25-yard shot in the final minutes against Tunisia.

Adrian Ilie, Romania, seemed to roam the field at will for most of his team’s 1-0 victory over Colombia, and he scored the only goal at the end of the first half.

Juergen Klinsmann, captain of the German team, set up one goal and scored the other in a 2-0 triumph against the United States.

Looking ahead

Defending champion Brazil, coming off an unimpressive opening victory against Scotland, takes on Morocco at Nantes. The Brazilians hope to find openings for their star, two-time player of the year Ronaldo, while dealing with Morocco’s formidable speed. The Moroccans, coming off a 2-2 tie with Norway, must go with two starters nursing injuries: captain Noureddine Naybet (leg) and midfielder El-Moustafa Hadji (fractured toe).

The Scots have never advanced beyond the first round in seven tries and another loss will eliminate them again. Norway played extremely well in the buildup to the tournament, then looked tentative against Morocco.
