Like a lot of people I'm tipping Spain to win the tournament - most of the big teams have 2 or 3 great players, Spain have 7 or 8 and that will be the difference - the depth of their squad.

 

I think Holland will do what they always do, fly through the early stages while playing brilliant football and then get put out in the last 8. England have a relatively easy group but I think they have been having too many poor performances & they have too many problems in their squad to win the tournament. I think USA can give England problems tomorrow and get a draw or even a shock win, USA may not have any superstars but they're a strong & organised unit. I still think Argentina can bring it together as well, Maradona might not be Marcelo Lippi when it comes to tactics but he can inspire his men like nobody else and they have so many options going forward - Messi, Tevez, Higuain, Milito & Aguero are all world class. Obviously you can't count out Brazil either.

A well deserved win by South Korea today, i think. Greece were pretty poor at the back.

currently 1-0 in favor of the Argentines. Nigeria's goalkeeper is beast mixed with some luck.

Adrenal, why do you think Italy is such a strong country? They aren't very strong at this point in time.

 

I'm cheering for Holland of course. We're going to win that cup with two fingers in our nose. :thumbup:

Haha goodluck with that :P. Yeah they did leave out their best strikers and their team is weaker than what it could've been and not having totti, cassano, rossi is unusual. Put it down to a hunch I guess. :P

Greece cant afford studs on their boots. Wow, they're [cabbage].

 

Lol, air horns.

 

[bleep]ing HELL it's annoying. I cant watch the game properly, it's like swarm of flies, those disgusting black ones the size of your thumb. <.< Cant watch the game properly.

 

Watching the Argentine - Nigera game, 1-0, [bleep][bleep][bleep], either their goalkeeper is amazingly good or Argentina is played at reduced capacity for [cabbage]s. Maradonna looks like some type of gangster with that suit on. :shock: Oh messi within first 10 minutes, I counted 4 goal-ish encounters. That dude's header in the game was amazing [ heinze I think ? correct me if Im wrong]

 

Oh guys, Pele tipped Spain to win. They've got a snowflakes' chance in hell of winning now aha. :grin:

 

And it's well past 1 here, I;ve got exams next week going until the 2nd of next month, which basically [bleep]s me over in terms of watching anything. Lucky it's a long weekend.

Right now were just holding the ball too much. Having 1 point ahead is NOT the safezone. >_>

 

Maradonna looks nice actually; he lost like 20 pounds.

Haha, go Adrenal!

 

Argentina 1 - 0 Nigeria. We barely won I must say...I'm worried how our offense is going to be against harder teams.

Why are you so worried, you got 10+ shots on goal [hahah, 7 from Messi], 9 corners, 60% possesion ..], even then I'm sure they're not playing to full capacity.

I don't know. Shadowfax brings a good point. I entered the world cup pessimistic and seeing today makes me worried. :cry:

 

Though in Argentina they must be celebrating like crazy, proclaiming Maradonna a God's amongst men. Argentines' weakness: cockiness.

 

For now, I relax and wait for the Entire World vs. England. :mrgreen:

I didn't see much of SA game yesterday, was making some home-made pizza so just ran to the tv back and forward. France yesterday, kinda crappy game. But i can't remember too much, had a few too many beers with some friends while watching it.

South Korea, watched last 35. They played really good and Park's goal, awesome.

Argentina, i am not at all convinced. Lagerbäck is a great tactician and it wasn't easy for Argentina when some time had passed. Nigeria's keeper - best on the field!

J'adore aussi le sexe et les snuff movies

Je trouve que ce sont des purs moments de vie

Je ne me reconnais plus dans les gens

Je suis juste un cas désespérant

Et comme personne ne viendra me réclamer

Je terminerai comme un objet retrouvé

That tsabaalalalallalalalaalaaa guy's goal yesterday was beast, now to watch England plow USA like a field tonight.

Even though the U.S. beat Spain 2-0 and only lost to Brazil 3-2 in the 2009 Confederations Cup, despite injuries? Please. It will be a close match. Let's save all, if any, trash talking for after the match.
