Germany lost, that made me laugh..........muahahhaha

if England loses......that would make my day.......

Algeria better leave blood sweat and tears on that field...

England lookin a bit lost on that field....

Go Algeria Go!!!

England BOOOOOOOO´d off by the fans.......

0 - 0 Final Score......

The USA WINS 0-0



Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

I'll hold my hands up and admit that England played a dismal game tonight.
But that's football.
At least we didn't screw it up as badly as Germany. lol

I was a bit surprised frankly. But not as surprised as the
US team...or the Germans!



Serbs played a great game though. Really. Fine effort.
Slovenia played well too. The ref not so much. The US could've
played like they did in the 2nd half for the first 45.

Looks like that might be the last match for the so-called "referee" from Mali. Apparently it was obvious to everyone else in the audience that he was a complete dingleberry.

Looking forward to all the three games today......

Oh Yes! Great football day for the Dads.

Paraguay had a great first match plus Italy and Brazil.
Drogba looks likely to get more time and Cote d'Ivoire ain't N. Korea



Still looking to see who will be bringing it to Argentina
moving forward.

Slovakia and Paraguay looks to be a very fun match but the
way they looked against Italy bodes well for Paraguay...

Interesting that we get to see Italy again too.
Time to see if Italy can dominate like a contender.

And Brazil is looking at a much better defensive team today
than N Korea and a team that can be a real offensive threat too.

Yes ! Indeed a great day of footballing action at the
World Cup.

First up, Paraguay up against Slovakia.
Paraguay seems to me a different team in their fist encounter.
They showed more urgency and was attacking more, as compared to
their defensive style of old. They took the game to the Italians
and held the reigning champs to a draw.
As for the rookies, Slovakia, their slip-up at the final stretch,
of their first match, robbed them of a win against fellow debutants
New Zealand.It'll be interesting to see how Paraguay and Slovakia
play, particularly as both teams drew their opening match, and
both know a win here can open their chance of qualifying for the
next round.

Next in line, Italy against New Zealand.
Need i comment on this match after all? But this World Cup has
thrown up surprises and one may never be too sure. Having said
this, i still think Italy will cruise through this game.

Saving the best for last, Brazil up against Cote De Ivoire.
Ivory Coast surprised me with their strength and resilience
in their game against Portugal. If they can repeat this performance
today, they have a chance against their more fancied opponents.
I shall not hide my wish of seeing another upset here.
Go GO Cote de Ivoire.......!!!!!!!

By the way, we have talked so much about our
choice of countries and their games, but i haven't seen a single
comment about the DUTCH and their 'conservative' performance.

For the record, as of now (time of this post), The Netherlands
is the only country, to have DEFINITELY, repeat DEFINITELY, entered
the Round Of 16 !!!!!!

You must've missed my first post in this thread. I stated that the Dutch are going to win.

Have you missed Argentina's scores? They won both of their games so far, so like the Dutch, the have 6 points, and have their spot in the Round of 16. They also played their second game on Thursday, 2 days before the Dutch, making them the 1st team to secure passage to the Round of 16.

This World Cup is very interesting, very many interesting and surprise resalts like ENGLAND -USA 1:1, GERMANY - SERBIA 0:1, SPAIN - SWITZERLAND 0:1. And now in group D, all countries have a chances to go to play off. So let's see chempionship, every country can win. "Show must go on..."

How could i afford to miss out any of Argentina's games?

However, on paper, Argentina are through with two wins from two games,
with a superior goal difference.

But, realistically, look at the points table of Group B, and the final
round of fixtures there. If South Korea beat Nigeria, South Korea would have 6 points. And if Greece beats Argentina, then both Greece and Argentina would end up with 6 points. So it would be up to the
goal difference that would decide who goes through, amongst the three.
So Argentina, cannot afford to take things lightly in their final group
game. Though a draw would surely guarantee their progress to the next
round!!!!!!!

Improbable, Italy - New Zeland 1:1. Sensations under way...

Surprises galore......

The reigning World Champs are held to yet another draw!!!!!

This time by the debutant, the Kiwis.

And i thought, Italy would cruise through......

I guess, i'd have to eat my own words,

And salute the Kiwis, who'd shown their mettle in both their games.
