I think the 1:1 between South Africa and Mexico was a fair result.

Also i completely agree with Pricey. Malouda and Henry on the bench? I mean WTF!? The game went so much better for them after they have been subbed in.

Henry, he can be on the bench, he is old and not that good, Anelka is not good neither but...
I can't understand Malouda, Diaby is awesome, but Malouda awesome, he can score at everytime.
Argentina today, and USA-England, it'll be an awesome match.

However, in 2006 France started EXACTLY the same (hard qualification and a draw on the first match) and ended in the final after beating Brazil, Portugal and Spain.

Dear cool dreamer you forgot the match vs Italy

in my opinion the 1st half of Uruguay-France was one of the most boring matches I've ever seen.

Italy was lucky to win the world cup 2006. Even the way they won the game vs. Australia in the first knockout stage due to an illegal goal (0:1) was lucky, Australia played better. Winning the next round against Ukraine was not that hard actually. Then you won the semi final in with a goal in the 119th minute and the final itself in the penalty shoot-out, which is often decided by luck anyway - except for England they actually always fail.

There were many teams who have been better and would have deserve the win that time, as France, Portugal and Germany

I agree, Italy isn't seen as one of the country that really excells.

South Korea is really good on the half-time of the match, Greece can't do anything atm, they could score 1 or 2 more goals.
They are impressive, i knew they were good, but not like that.

[Ridley]

Well they play against Greece and they don't offer much or any resistance. I think if they play against a team such as Argentina it'll look a lot different.

[Seany]

I think nobody thought this at first. Tbh, i only know 1 player of South Korea, and that's Duricha (right spelling?) But they're a good team. Let's see.

[Metal]

They look really good, and that miss where it hit the goal keeper's foot and like flew 10cm over the gate (is that how it's called in English?). Was painfull XD

[Metal]

Hahahah awesome goal.

And Ji Sung Park from Manchester United ofc.

[Seany]

I don't know the full name, but Park say me something. Btw. Greece get better atm.

[Pacio]

And Si Jung Park from Manchester United ofc.

you mean Ji Sung Park? ^^

well anyway Mexico's goal was an epic fail from one defender!

as you can see from this, South Africa were trying the offside tactic, but one of their defenders stayed still and so Marquez was not in offside

[Pricey]

Ji sung park, South Korea Captain, Manchester United's #13. He is a quality, fast and strong winger + attacking midfielder. Korea have beaten Greece easily, Greece have been shit, Park's goal was awesome!

[Pacio]

great match by South Korea! I'm sure they'll pass the turn!
