the only match of the first round that's a must is Brazil-Portugal (or the north korea matches if you want to have 6 goals games); It'll be like a mini final...

the loser gets to play Spain, then Italy, then Argentina/Germany... fun fun... (other side would be switzerland then netherland then England(france...yeah)).

that is unless Italy decides to lose it's first place to avoid spain/brazil :p (what do I say, they'd never do that...umhhh)

I wouldn't count N.Korea to suffer that many amount of goals. N.Korea has a similar playing style as Greece had in Euro 2004, and are one of the hardest teams to score against. 

As for Portugal - Brazil, I also think it's going to be an awesome game, but if it the deciding match for the first place, then Brazil is better positioned to win it. Portugal - Spain on the next round...it makes me cringe >_<

(im_sneaky) Algeria 0-0 Slovenia (Maynard_Tool)

Let's Rock!

Supposedly (According to BBC Radio 5live) The Slovenia government have said that if their team reaches the 1/4 finals, everyone going to Slovenia for a holiday will get 25% off their ticket, 50% for the semi and 100% for the final...as good as that sounds, based on this performance, even the 1/4 final seems unlikely.

Nice algeria got 2 yellow for a red =) now 10vs11 for 20 mins... we'll have riots in paris :p

Algeria's Abdelkeder Gezzel has gain his second yellow card and has been sent off, meaning that im_sneaky, forfeits his avatar to Maynard_Tool for 24 hrs, the 24 hours starts as soon as the Avatar is up.

Goalkeepers are great this world cup... 1_0 slovenia
