Man Ribery was shite once again, he loses the ball 90% of the time

This. Ribery is possibly the most overrated footballer on the planet. I've not seen him have a remotely good game in forever. He was absolutely awful today.

Forlan is still wonderful.

'Tis all.

No, you're mistaking him with Cristiano Ronaldo.

[New Damage]

Two games in, and those horns are pissing me off already.

It's like watching a Wales match, only with a full stadium.

[Dan]

Well, I fell asleep during the France game

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

I think in the competition I entered at the local bar (winner gets something crazy like 103 pints of beer) I had Uruguay and Mexico going through.

[Gazz]

Looks like I'm going to have to get a job.

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

Wahey and in the totally pointless Facebook competition I'd said that both games would finish 1-1 so one perfect score and one correct result so far.

Today I need South Korea 2 Greece 1, Argies 2 Nigeria 0 and England 3 USA 1.

[MDK]

Please Pele, just please, let us not lose to the fucking yanks of all people. *begs*

Yeah that bloke who won the Ballon D'or, scored 42 goals in 49 games in a season for Man United, 33 in 35 for Real Madrid in his first season there and commanded an £80 million transfer fee. Riber in comparison has never played an an elite league, had one good season in Germany and when ever he's played internationally has looke the epitome of average. Yeah, Ronaldo is over-rated.

[Blue Rosler]

I thought 1-1, but then thought France would nick it, as it's their style (in an annoying way.)

Today I can see South Korea doing the first ass-kicking of the tournament against Greece, don't know why.

Then Argentina getting a poor victory against Nigeria.

England 2-1 USA, with a last gasp header from a corner.

[Crybaby Bunting]

Just think folks, Bayern are paying that man something close to 180k per week.

...yeah. I thought German teams were smarter with their money

[YI]

I'm a million times more annoyed at all the commentators and pundits talking about the vuvuzelas than the noise they actually make. It's pretty much constant so you just filter it out as white noise, doesn't bother me at all.

[Blue Rosler]

Hooray, 1-0, atleast this accu is still on >_>

[Asuka's Gonna Kill You]

South Korea one up already, loving it. Really hope they do well and have a decent run in the tournament. Look like they could get a few here today, Greece look dodgy as fuck at the back.

[rocksta]

Greece's CBs got a little jumbled didn't they? It's really showing.

[Dont Fear The Reaper]

PARK! ^_^

[IAceI]

Oh fuck off Greece. Had these getting to the QFs and playing us but they are utterly garbage. Shocking team.

[Asuka's Gonna Kill You]

Beautiful from Park.

Greece are seriously horrendous.

[TCO]

I've got 3 bets on today's games, 2 of which I heard as specials in there today

€2 on England to win 2-0 11/2

€2 on Messi and Rooney to score at anytime 3/1

€5 on England and Argentina to win 11/8

If England and Argentina both win I'll at least get my money back anyway so the other two are just for fun.

[Plubby]

Greece were just cut to ribbons there, it was boys against men.

Also I put $25 on England with a potential profit of $71 - seems really high odds for England. Took it and ran

DONT LET ME DOWN ENGERLAND

[TCO]

Why the hell is Jonas Gutierrez playing right back for Argentina?
