World Cup 2010 Thread

Greece deserve everything they get for dropping Kyrgiakos.

[Rich]

Because Zanetti isn't in the squad and would you pick a right back from Sunderland in your World Cup line up?

[therockbox]

With that team, Heinze is the one that opens the scoring for Argentina

[Plubby]

That was too easy...Heinze's mark just stood there and watched him make his run...

[Szumi]

Awful defending by Nigeria on the set piece, although to be fair, one of the Nigerian defenders who could've potentially got to the challenge and blocked it was CLEARLY being held by I believe Veron.

[Dan]

African teams defending at corners is awful.

[Blue Rosler]

Danny Shittu's in their team - can quality defending really be expected? >_>

[Blue Rosler]

Fuck you depth perception, I thought that was in >_>

[Dan]

Don't you be hating on Shittu. :@

[Lineker]

Shittu was fantastic at Watford.

Shame he lived up to his name everywhere else.

England v USA live on TV across the UK today except in Scotland, Wales and N.Ireland which will be showing back to back episodes of ' Wish You Were Here '

Christ, how many opportunities are Argentina gonna piss away in this match? It's getting ridiculous.

[Dan]

England v USA - Kick off 19:30.

USA will turn up at 19:41 and then claim victory.

Oh and are the Argies just messing about here? Should have been over by 20 minutes in.

Enyeama - Football Manager great and pretty good in real life too. Argentina look decent but I wouldn't back their defence against any quality team. Nigeria could've equalised a few times if they'd been more composed and clinical in the final third.

[Asuka's Gonna Kill You]

Could say the same for Nigeria. They've had countless chances and fucked them up, terrible finishing ball. Actually been a pretty good game.

[Dan]

Pretty good? Guy's in beast mode.

[Rich]

Mick McCarthy has amused me all match

[Blue Rosler]

I like this result, just means the rest of the big guns have got to win (Spain, Brazil, Germany, Holland, Italy), then Slovakia to win.

I've hedged my bets in accumulators and gone for one with Slovenia winning, one with Algeria. Better not be a draw >_>

[Guest Mr. Potato Head]

Nigeria/Korea is going to be a huge game.

[Age Of The Lariat]

I'd fancy South Korea against Argentina after today's games. I think there's a good chance of an upset there, or at least a draw.
