Apa lagi yang bisa dipuji dari pertandingan Grup G Piala Dunia 2010 selain semangat juang Korea Utara?
Penampilan Korea Utara seolah mampu mengatasi keunggulan kualitas yang dimiliki Brasil. Babak pertama yang berakhir imbang tanpa gol menunjukkan kuatnya tekad tim Kuda Terbang di Piala Dunia ini. Penyerang Jong Tae Se tampil sendirian di lini depan, tapi tak kalah cerdik menghadapi duet pertahanan Brasil yang dikawal Lucio dan Juan.
Jong kerap tampil melebar untuk memberikan ruang kepada rekan-rekan setimnya. Buah kerja keras Korea Utara adalah gol balasan yang dilesakkan Ji Yun Nam pada menit ke-88 -- hasil assist Jong.
Brasil juga pantas dipuji karena menunjukkan kualitas mental pemenang. Berkat mental itulah Maicon akhirnya mampu meruntuhkan tembok pertahanan melalui tendangan tipuan dari sudut sempit. Setelahnya, Brasil kian nyaman mengendalikan pertandingan. Gol kedua mampu disarangkan Elano memanfaatkan visi Robinho
Kelemahan Brasil harus diwaspadai Carlos Dunga, terlebih karena para pemainnya kerap keteteran ketika harus menghadapi lawan yang tampil menekan. Pertahanan Brasil juga tertidur sehingga menyebabkan Ji mampu melesakkan gol balasan.
Apapun, persaingan sengit di Grup G takkan berhenti sampai di sini.

Germany 4-0 Australia - Lineups/Stats
World Cup 2010 Fixtures/Results
Just hours after Ghana set the pace in Group D with their 1-0 win over Serbia, Germany and Australia looked to keep up with the Black Stars as they kicked off in Durban.
Germany coach Joachim Loew made one change to the line-up that featured in last week's 3-1 victory over Bosnia and Herzegovina: on the right flank, Thomas Mueller replaced Piotr Trochowski. Miroslav Klose, who has taken heavy criticism in recent weeks, got the nod as Loew's lone striker, pipping the in-form Cacau.
For Australia, Pim Verbeek made somewhat of a surprise selection in the striker position. With Harry Kewell unfit, it at first seemed that Joshua Kennedy was a shoe-in for the role up top. However, Verbeek opted to use Everton midfielder Tim Cahill in attack, with Brett Emerton, Richard Garcia, and Jason Culina as support.
Australia took no time to get started, and should have gone a goal ahead within three minutes. Following a corner, Cahill's header was blocked by Germany captain Philipp Lahm, and Garcia's follow-up was also deflected away from goal.
It wasn't long before Germany found their feet. After Mesut Ozil nearly played Lukas Podolski through on goal, the young playmaker found Klose breaking away from Vincenzo Grella. The Bayern Munich striker raced to the edge of the penalty area, but Mark Schwarzer made a good save to deny him.
Moments later, Ozil slipped a clever ball through to Mueller, who pulled back for Podolski. The Koeln man fired with his first touch, blasting in off Schwarzer's hand to put the Germans ahead.
After a spell during which the Germans held the ball well but had trouble timing their runs, the Aussies nearly drew level. Emerton's cross found Culina's head at the back post, but the Gold Coast United man nodded over the bar. Moments later, Wilkshire found Emerton with a fine through ball before Garcia cleverly created space for himself to shoot. The striker's last touch was lacking, however, and the ball flew well over the bar.
The Germans would soon punish their opponents for poor finishing. The catalyst, Ozil, first played a fine ball that resulted in Klose missing a wide-open shot from the centre of the penalty area. Then, Lahm sent an inch-perfect cross to Klose that fooled Schwarzer. The goalkeeper raced off his line, but failed to collect the ball as Klose emphatically headed home his 11th World Cup goal.
With the score reading 2-0, Germany were well in control, but continued to pressure the Australian goal. Their use of width stretched the Socceroos' defence, and their variety of attacking options kept the Aussies on their heels. Ozil failed to convert on a pair of one-on-one opportunities with Schwarzer, and Sami Khedira nearly added a goal of his own after receiving another well-taken cross from Lahm.
Only in the dying moments of the first half did Australia manage to bring the ball back into their attacking third, but Garcia posed a very lonely figure in the penalty box.
The first half ended with Germany comfortably ahead as a dejected Australian side was left to figure out how to find their way back into the game.
Straight Red | Timmy C Takes An Early Bath
After the break, Verbeek withdrew Grella in favour of the more attack-minded Brett Holman. Australia started well and had claims for a penalty after Garcia headed the ball off Per Mertesacker's arm. It would have been a harsh decision, but penalties have been awarded for less.
Within seven minutes, Holman nearly pulled a goal back for Australia. The substitute created space away from Friedrich and fired from 20 yards, but missed wide of the right post.
The Australians' momentum would soon run out, and their hopes of taking anything from the game were vanquished after 56 minutes, when Cahill was sent off for a poor foul on Bastian Schweinsteiger. The Everton midfielder tried to pull out of his challenge, but was late and connected with the German's ankle, which was enough to earn a straight red card.
Meanwhile, the Germans played for a third goal as Mueller, Khedira, Klose, and Podolski fired but could not quite beat Schwarzer.
Inside the final half hour, Verbeek swapped Garcia for Ukraine native Nikita Rukavytsa, but if anything, Australia could have used another defender. As the final quarter of the game approached, Podolski fed a through ball to Mueller, who wisely stopped his run to create space. The Bayern Munich attacker then struck a precise effort off the inside of the left post to make the score 3-0.
Even with a comfortable lead, Loew decided to keep attacking, and next substituted Cacau in place of Klose. With his first touch, the Stuttgart striker slotted in after Ozil slipped into a forward position and teed him up.
With a quarter hour left, Loew brought on striker Mario Gomez in place of Ozil, and the Germans' style of play switched to a strictly flank-based attack. Australia had their first bright spell since early in the first half, but as before, could not quite capitalise. Six minutes from full time, the Aussies had their first opportunity on goal since the third minute, but Rukavytsya was harried and fired weakly into goalkeeper Manuel Neuer's waiting arms.
With the result already decided, the match drew to a rather quiet close. Australia struggled to keep possession in their attacking half, and a comfortable Germany side played out the final minutes without throwing players forward as they previously had.
The result puts Germany atop Group D, ahead of Ghana on goal difference. After Serbia's loss earlier today, Australia still have a chance to advance to the knockout rounds, but have a mountain to climb.

TEMPO Interaktif, Jakarta - Komisi Penyiaran Indonesia (KPI) melarang penayangan potongan gambar video seks yang diduga artis Luna Maya dan Ariel "Peterpan" di televisi. Bahkan gambar yang diburamkan sekalipun terlarang.
"Itu sama saja ikut menyebarkan," kata Ketua KPI Dadang Rachmat ketika dihubungi tadi malam. Menurut dia, penayangan cuplikan video dan potongan gambar justru akan membuat publik semakin penasaran. Selanjutnya, publik mencari situs-situs di dunia maya yang memuat video tersebut.
Dadang pun menyarankan kepada media televisi agar mengikuti ketentuan mengenai pemberitaan tentang berita pornografi. "Agar pornografi tak semakin tersebar."
Sejak Jumat pekan lalu, publik ramai membicarakan dan mencari lewat Internet dua video masing-masing berdurasi tiga dan enam menit yang berisi persetubuhan yang diduga presenter Luna Maya dan Ariel, vokalis grup musik Peterpan. Video itu muncul pertama kali di jejaring sosial Facebook. Sekitar pukul 05.00 WIB, video sudah dihapus. Tapi publik keburu melihat dan menyimpannya.
Hingga kemarin, tayangan infotainmen di televisi dipenuhi berita soal itu. Luna membantah jika video itu disebut tentang dirinya, sedangkan Ariel belum berkomentar. Adapun Vita, manajemen Luna, menolak berkomentar mengenai isi video dan pengaduan ke polisi. "Maaf, ya," ucapnya kepada Tempo tadi malam.
Kemarin siang, lembaga swadaya masyarakat Hukum Jamin Rakyat (Hajar) melaporkan Luna-Ariel ke Kepolisian Daerah Metro Jaya dengan tuduhan pelanggaran pasal kesusilaan Undang-Undang Informasi dan Transaksi Elektronik serta Kitab Undang-Undang Hukum Pidana. "Mereka harus dipenjara karena telah melanggar undang-undang, berlawanan dengan moral dan agama," kata Ketua Hajar, Farhat Abbas.
Juru bicara Polda Metro Jaya, Komisaris Besar Boy Rafli Amar, menyarankan Luna-Ariel melapor balik kepada polisi atas pencemaran nama baik. "Belum ada bukti itu gambar mereka," ujarnya. Polisi pun masih mencari siapa penyebar pertama video itu via Internet dan membuktikan apakah itu video Luna-Ariel.

JAKARTA - Wisnu Pramudya, salah seorang relawan yang ditahan tentara Israel dalam insiden penyerangan kapal Mari Marmara, dikabarkan akan ikut dalam ekspedisi kemanusian Palestina II yang akan berangkat dalam waktu dekat.
“Kalau melihat dari pribadinya, saya yakin kakak saya pasti akan ikut juga dalam ekspedisi kedua,” kata Amirul, adik Wisnu, saat dihubungi okezone di Jakarta, Kamis (3/6/2010).
Dia menjelaskan, keinginan Wisnu untuk melakukan perjalanan kedua ini didasarkan atas sifat kepedulian yang sangat tinggi.
“Dia memiliki kepedulian yang tinggi. Seperti saat sejumlah kejadian di Indonesia. Ketika mendengar kejadian di Aceh, dia langsung ngotot pergi ke sana walaupun dengan dana seadanya,” tuturnya.
Namun saat ini, lanjut Wisnu, keluarga menginginkan Wisnu untuk kembali ke Jakarta dahulu untuk istirahat.
“Keluarga sangat mendukung aksi kemanusiaan Wisnu. Seperti saat mendengar Wisnu ditahan, keluarga sudah ikhlas dan hanya berdoa agar cita-citanya tercapai, yaitu memberikan hidupnya untuk kemanusiaan,” tuturnya.
Sebelumnya, 12 relawan Indonesia beserta ratusan relawan dari negara lain yang berada di dalam kapal Mavi Marmara disandera oleh tentara Israel. Tentara Israel berdalih para relawan ini nekat menembus blokade Gaza yang dibangun Israel untuk mengantisipasi pengiriman senjata oleh Iran.(kem)
