Re: World Cup 2010

I don't like USA because England is a better team. The fans are happy with a tie because they'll take anything with their team.

Re: World Cup 2010

So far Argentina has looked the best. Their four headed dragon offence is flat out scary. They would have won their first game against the Nigerians 4-0 had it not been for the brilliant goalkeeping of Nigeria's keeper. It has been a pretty cool WC so far minus the annoying bee noise. I am watching Algeria vs Slovania now and Algeria started to take over in the second part of the first half but no score yet.

Very early to say who's good or not
Even though I know USA wont win let's see how far my 'team" will go.

Re: World Cup 2010

USA is in a weak group and got very lucky to draw vs england so they do have a shot to make it to the second round. Having said that, Slovenia seems to invent ways to beat teams they have no business beating and Algeria looked about as good as you can while losing. I do not think any of the games will be easy for the USA but they are in a good situation. Today Germany looked UBER! They completly dominated the Aussies. Argentina and Germany look great so far.

Re: World Cup 2010

I was watching Japan vs Camaroon today and i thought about our own NT. Our players are generally smaller/shorter then their opponents and it has been used as a excuse many times to explain why we lose. Today Japam beat Camaroon which had players much bigger taller then Japan. The reason Japan won was their fitness and teqnique. Our players need to quit smoking and start working out instead of making up lousy excuses like our pathetic coach always does.

Re: World Cup 2010

I am a fan of German futbol and they have so far been the only team to win a match in absolute decisive fashion. They made the kangaroos look like they were not supposed to be on the World Cup stage to begin with.

Deutschland uber alles!

Re: World Cup 2010

The group of death kicked off today. Portugal and Ivory Coast played a pretty defencive match. I bet a healthy Drogba would have won this one for the African team which played better then Portugal. I love brazilian football and i hope to see the creativity in the next match against the mysterious N Korean team. Slovakia and New Zealand looked pretty lame. Hey Fed your Germans do look good but there are some very scary teams in this tournament so hold off on the celebration just yet.

Re: World Cup 2010

Player to watch for Brazil
Luis Fabiano — The golden boot winner from the 2009 Confederations Cup will be Brazil's main striker during the tournament, thanks to his determination and quickness in front of goal. The 29-year-old scored 21 goals for Sevilla in all competitions last season.

Player to watch for North Korea
Jong Tae-Se — Dubbed the "Asian Wayne Rooney" thanks to his strength and goal-scoring ability, Jong is North Korea's best player, one of the few to ply his trade outside the country. But he will be up against the toughest defenders he's ever faced in Group G.

Key matchup
Luis Fabiano vs. Ri Myong-Guk — When Brazil and Fabiano inevitably break through North Korea's staunch wall of defence, goalkeeper Ri Myong-Guk, who had 10 shutouts in qualifying, will have to come up big if his team is to have any chance to pull off a massive shocker.

I can't believe I'm going to miss watching this game cause I'm stuck at work!!! FML!

....Today Germany looked UBER! They completly dominated the Aussies. Argentina and Germany look great so far.

Rumor has it that there was some disrespect from the Australian player/s few days before the match towards the German team.

I can see the conflict.........bigmouth reckless Aussies against the German discipline.
They made them look like they don’t belong in the WC and they should stick to their Australian Footy and Cricket.

How about them Kiwis though..I am sure it hurts more to see the lesser experienced (also kind of looked down upon New Zealanders) doing better with an equalizing score (a beautiful header) in the 94 Min! against Slovakia. All four teams in group F (including Italy) now have exactly 1pt…..they should start over. lol

I see you are one of many who don’t like the Vuvuzela, so called the "Horn of Africa" played by every African fan (a blow horn) as a custom during soccer games. There is a controversy regarding that noise as well. I don’t mind it.

Re: World Cup 2010

You missed a good game Kanada. Brazil won 2-1 but the N Koreans put up a great fight. This group is the strongest group of death i ever remember seeing. Every team in this group is actually very strong! It kind of sucks that the best African team happens to be in this group.
